How much recovery time is needed after a blepharoplasty?

Recovery after eyelid surgery diaries to some degree person to person and also if you have upper and lower lids done as opposed to just one or the other.  Expect some mild discomfort and swelling for a few days and bruising that can last a few weeks.  Most patients can hued the bruising with makeup at about one week to ten days.

You can start showering and shampooing normally the second day after surgery. Don't drive until your vision isn't blurry (because sometimes swelling may affect your vision). You can start working out again in a couple of weeksI generally advise patients not wear make-up for the first two weeks after surgery. When you start putting on makeup again, don't use any products that are very dark because pigments can permanently darken incision lines. However, it's best to ask your surgeon because they might have different advice.
