Post Operative Care After Blepharoplasty
The most common post operative care for upper and lower blepharoplasty is certainly natural tears such as Refresh Plus. It is hypoallergenic and preservative-free. It can be used 3 drops, 5-6 times per day. In general, for upper and lower blepharoplasty, I have my patients use Refresh PM. If one does not have full eyelid closure, then use Refresh PM which is hypoallergenic as well.

Upper Blepharoplasty After Care Instructions
Your surgeon should appropriately guide your perioperative care, both before and after surgery. Upper eyelid surgery does not require as much after care as compared to facelift, browlift, or neck lift. The link below provide instructions that I provide patients, but each surgeon will have variations. In addition, after surgery care will be modified to the needs of each specific patient during the healing process, which only your surgeon may assist with. Best of luck.
