How to Speed Your Recovery after Eyelid Surgery

Post Date: 7/28/2022

 

Most of us have a hard time accepting that we are getting old. However, getting old is a rule of life and it's perfectly normal. Still, the signs of aging on your face when you look in the mirror may be making you a little unhappy. There is no way to stop aging, but there is a way to hide its traces. 

Fine lines and wrinkles that occur especially around the eyes from the age of fifties reveal your age. In addition, sagging skin on the upper eyelid and bags on the lower eyelid can be bothersome for both men and women if they are excessive. The most effective solution to correct this appearance and achieve younger eyelids is eyelid aesthetics surgery. This procedure can be applied to both eyelids if you wish, or only to the lower or upper eyelids. It is also possible to obtain a perfect result by combining it with operations such as forehead lift or face lift in line with the needs of the patient. 

So, how does the healing process work after classic eyelid surgery? What can you do to return to your normal life as soon as possible?

Make Sure You’re Prepared for the Recovery Process

 The first thing you should do is get detailed information from your doctor about the surgery and the recovery process. It would be useful to do research on the internet about these issues and ask your doctor questions during the first examination. Remember that you will need to rest for at least 10 days after the surgery. If you are working, you will need to take time off from work.

Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions

You had a good surgery and all is well. After that, all you have to do is follow your doctor's instructions exactly and take the prescribed medication. If you encounter an unusual situation, do not hesitate to contact your doctor.

Protect Your Skin from the Sun

You must protect your eye area from the sun after the surgery. Do not go out without sunscreen and sunglasses or even a hat.

Don’t Stress Your Eyes

After the operation, you should give your eyes plenty of rest for two weeks. During this time, watching TV for a long time, looking at a computer screen, or reading a book can tire your eyes. Also, keep in mind that you should avoid strenuous physical activities and strenuous exercise for a while.

Don’t Smoke

Finally, if you smoke, you will need to take a break from that for a while. Smoking weakens your immune system and can slow the healing process. For this reason, as in all surgical procedures, your doctor will ask you to stay away from smoking before and after eyelid surgery.
