Answer: Incision care after eyelid surgery Every surgeon has his or her protocols for incision care. I would recommend hydrogen peroxide and water mix twice daily followed by a thin layer of bacitracin ointment. For the most accurate info consult your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Blepharoplasty: post operative care #Blepharoplasty: post operative careI usually have my patients use dilute peroxide or bottled water,Use a sunscreen with a skin-protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 on your eyelids when outside, and continue to do so for at least 6 months after surgery. You may apply makeup in addition to sunscreen on your eyelids the day after the incisions are closed which is approximately 7 days.

Answer: Eyelid surgery Every surgeon is different in their recommendations. Most, however, like myself recommend cleaning first with hydrogen peroxide and then applying ointment. Use a small amount on a q-tip and then lightly dry it before applying the antibiotic ointment. A video on post blepharoplasty cleaning and be found on my web site.The most important thing is to follow your surgeon's instructions- I would highly recommend contacting them to confirm exactly how you should be caring for your blepharoplasty incisions
