Answer: 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.

Answer: Call your surgeons office
Honestly, immediate postop questions should be directed to your surgeon. Your surgeon and/or the office staff should discuss postoperative with you before surgery and then after surgery, preferably with a caregiver that is driving you home.

Answer: After care for upper blepharoplasty
You should really contact your surgeon to see what instructions he or she may want you to follow. Your surgeon has the most information in regards to your particular procedure, so would be the best person to answer your question. For most routine blepharoplasty, the after care would include keeping your head elevated above your chest, using ice packs to help keep the swelling down, and avoiding any strenuous activity. Your surgeon may want you to follow different or additional instructions.

Answer: Blepharoplasty Post-Care
Hi Brigette,
Pre-procedure, all possible complications & post-care should be discussed with your surgeon prior to surgery however some tips include; swelling, bruising, and discoloration are normal. Swelling will usually increase for 48 hours and then subside. Use ice water compresses fifteen minutes per hour for 48 hours after surgery and do not do any strenuous exercise for two weeks. It is important you schedule a post-up 24 hours after your surgery. I hope this helps.
