During your consultation with Dr. Stern, you'll receive information regarding your procedure and what to expect afterward in terms of discomfort. The use of laser technology lessens certain side effects and risks but there may still be some mild discomfort to manage as you heal from your treatment. If you're prescribed pain medication, take it as needed to ensure that your comfort remains consistent and you don't experience unnecessary pain. Taking pain medication at regular intervals, even if you find that you only need over-the-counter medication, is key to the smoothest possible recovery from your laser blepharoplasty procedure.
