The procedure is surprisingly uneventful. I’m so amazed at the advances in surgery, to the point where I’m able to have someone come into my office, have surgery on their eyelids, and most patients either fall asleep or laugh at my singing. Honestly, I have at least one patient every week say, “It was so much easier than I thought it would be.”  Afterward, I’ve never needed to call in narcotics. I tell patients to take Tylenol every 4 to 6 hours after surgery. Most patients will take Tylenol that night and the next day. Some patients might need it for a third day. But some patients don't ever need any Tylenol!
