During the first few days after eyelid surgery, your lids will be swollen, sore and tender. You will likely see some bruising, too. These symptoms are temporary and subside quickly. If you experience any discomfort, you can take pain medication as prescribed by Dr. Magilke. Sutures are usually removed five to seven days after surgery.
Dr. Magilke will clear you to resume work, exercise and your normal routine. Most patients return to work one to two weeks after surgery and exercise two weeks after surgery.
