Post-Procedure Care and Recovery – FAQs
What is the typical recovery period after a Blepharoplasty?
Most people return to usual activities within 7 to 10 days, though recovery time can vary. Bruising and swelling often reduce gradually during the first two weeks. Your practitioner will discuss a recovery plan based on your individual needs.
Are there any activities I should avoid after eyelid surgery?
You may be advised to avoid bending, lifting, and strenuous exercise for a short period. Post-operative care will be tailored to your situation and discussed during your appointments.
How can I support my healing?
Your post-surgery plan may include using cold compresses, keeping your head elevated, and following wound care instructions.
At Aesthetica, we also include LED light therapy as part of our approach to support recovery. Your practitioner will guide you on how to care for the area and monitor your progress during follow-up visits.
