How soon after a ptosis correction (with incisions) can I go scuba diving?

Shirin76
I am planning to go for ptosis revision on February 18. I am supposed to go on a 10 day scuba diving trip on March 12. Would my eyelids have healed sufficiently for me to go on such a trip? Are there risks of infections or something getting misaligned and the results looking horrible? Would it be possible if i were to do a non-incision surgery instead? Thanks!
