After blepharoplasty

  • Apply ice water compresses to your eyes and cheeks for the first 24 hours at home. If applied, do not touch the little strip plasters on the upper eyelids.
  • If prescribed, apply the eye drops 3 to 4 times daily. Blurring of vision may result from the medication. This is temporary and is to be expected.
  • You must keep your wounds dry until your stitches have been removed.
  • Do not drive during the first week after surgery.
  • Do not bend over, lift heavy objects, push or strain for the first week. No strenuous activity for the first month.
  • Swelling and discolouration (purplish) of the eyes is to be expected post operatively. This can be relieved by applying icepacks and will usually subside in a few days.
  • You may wear glasses but contact lenses should not be worn until after the first week.
  • Eye makeup may be gently applied after all stitches are removed, and gently removed with a mild cleansing cream.
  • Be sensible and rest for at least 48 hours.
  • Do not tweeze your eyebrows for the first two weeks after surgery.
