Recovery time after blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can vary from patient to patient and depends on many factors, including general health, age, type of procedure, and individual body characteristics.
Most patients recover from blepharoplasty within 1-2 weeks.
In the first few days after surgery, swelling, bruising, discomfort, and mild pain may occur. Some patients may experience dry eyes, sensitivity to light, and irritation of the conjunctiva.
During the first two to three days after surgery, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions and not strain your eyes and avoid physical exercise.
