Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, dryness, itching, and burning are all typical side effects of eyelid surgery. Please do not rub or scratch at your eyes. Dr. Teotia will prescribe you pain medications, as necessary, to take while you recover. You can also apply cold compresses to your eyes every 10 to 15 minutes for the first 24 hours after your surgery.
Your vision might be blurry for a few days, and your eyes may also be more sensitive to light, so it’s worth investing in a quality pair of UV-blocking sunglasses.
