Some degree of swelling and bruising is expected after any type of eyelid surgery. There are some measures that can be taken prior to surgery to minimize the amount of swelling and bruising and speed up recovery. In general, patients need to avoid taking aspirin containing products, fish oil, vitamin E, or other blood thinners for two to three weeks before the surgery. Please refer to our website to see more detailed and specific information in that regard. 

 In the hands of a skilled surgeon with meticulous attention to detail and control of bleeding the amount of bruising and swelling is minimized. Generally, we advise patients to take one week off from work. However, there might be still some visible bruising and swelling in some patients after a week. There are measures that can be taken even after the surgery to reduce bruising and swelling, such as taking steroid pills or treating the bruised areas with intense pulse light. There are specific post-operative instructions that we have devised to help patients have a speedy recovery.  

The possible options for non-surgical rejuvenation around eyes include: dermal fillers, botox injections, and laser skin resurfacing (such as CO2 or Erbium).

Abalative laser procedures can help to tighten the skin, promote college formation and reduce the wrinkles around the eye.
