How soon one could go to swim after Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty? I am worry about goggle pulling skin or wound come undone from goggle's suction pressure.
Answer: Swimming after blepharoplasty Hi LUSONG,I would advise you to wait a minimum of 2-3 weeks prior to wearing goggles. They can put pressure on the surgical site and could contribute to shifting of the results. I would talk to your surgeon about your specific case.Good luck!

Answer: Swim goggles after transconj Dear fellow swimmer; After a certain age it is best to avoid the socket goggles unless you are in a competitive situation. The suction stretches the skin/tissues in an area that as we age becomes less forgiving(leave it at that). Better option is using frame goggles.After transconj surgery and clearance from your surgeon you can probably be swimming in a mask type google about the two week mark (10-14 days). You can probably swim with a frame type goggle at 4-6 weeks. Socket goggles should be avoided. If socket goggles are needed for a competition, wait 2 months. Talk to your surgeon about the different type goggles so they can guide you.Enjoy the results----- it is a fantastic operative procedure!!!

Answer: The transconjunctival incision is not initially waterproof. Within 48 hours it likely seals. Generally we do not advise swimming for 3 weeks. The advice that is right for you can only come from your surgeon, the person who operated on you and knows your situation. Please do not accept post surgical advise from anyone else.

Answer: Always ask Your doctor and follow their instructions! When I have patients who have had a trans conjunctival blepharoplasty I try to not have them go diving for at least one month. But the real important thing is that you follow what your doctor feels comfortable with. He or she has your best interest in mind and you should follow what they feel is the most important instructions. While it is good to get other doctors opinion I would strongly suggest that you talk to your doctor and get his or her suggestion.

Answer: Resumption of swimming after trans conjunctival blepharoplasty. First of all postoperative restrictions should come only from your own plastic surgeon. In my own practice I would want all inflammation associated with the surgery to be substantially resolved. This will probably take about six weeks.
