In the first
2-3 days after the operation you will notice some slight swelling and bruising
and your lower eyelids may appear darker than normal. Rest assured that this wears off quickly after the
first week. It is a good
idea to apply cold compresses around the nose and under the eyes. You can use
gauze pads soaked in cold water or ice packs wrapped in a bandage or thin cloth
to avoid direct contact with the skin. After the operation, we give our patients special ice bags with a soft velvet-covering for safe and easy application.
