Aesthetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

The recovery process is fairly quick post-surgery and in the weeks that follow:

• You will stay in the recovery room for one or two hours after surgery and will be discharged once you are no longer drowsy from the anaesthesia and the risk of abnormal bleeding, nausea, or swelling has passed.
• Cold compresses will help reduce swelling and bruising.
• Pain medication will be prescribed for you, if needed.
• You will need to avoid contact sports for three to four weeks.
• You will also need to avoid activities that can increase your pulse or blood pressure for two or three days to lower your risk of bleeding or swelling.
