How long should I wait after upper eyelid surgery to go back to gym?

Thank you for your question.While I generally recommend that my patients refrain from all exercise and/or heavy lifting for a minimum of four weeks following their blepharoplasty procedure, it is important that you discuss any post-operative restrictions with your operating surgeon.  Your operating surgeon is most qualified to answer this for you as he/she is most familiar with your specific case and healing, and it is important to remember that there is no universal standard as each surgeon adopts their own specific protocols based upon their experience and training.Please follow up with your doctor and I wish you all of the best on your recovery!

Dear WestlcThank you for your question! As a rule for my patients - 10 days is the return to activity timeline. However- this is up to your surgeon.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Although the  recovery from an upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be quite easy, I advise my patients to refrain from heavy activity for at least 2 weeks following surgery to prevent swelling or delayed healing.
