How Long Will I Be off my Workout Routine After Canthoplasty?

Dear Christine
WIth regard to down time, I let my patient walk up to 3 miles per hour level on a treadmill for the first three weeks but noting else. After three weeks, physical restrictions are removed. However, it matters very little what I think, you need to follow the directions of your surgeon to the letter.
There are very few things for which a "canthoplasty" is the right answer. So I am hoping that you have done your homework on your doctor and what is proposed makes sense and is supported by the opinions of other surgeons.
For this type of work please recognize that oculoplastic surgeons (board certified ophthalmologist with ASOPRS fellowship training in eyelid surgery are without question the best trained in dealing with issues that many require a canthoplasty. Other types of surgeons perform procedures that they refer to as canthoplasties but in many cases what is actually done is an external eyelid procedure with some type of stitch used to reinforce the outer corner of the eyelid. By and large, these are not a substitute for a properly designed and executed lower eyelid procedure.

 You really need to address this question to your surgeon because it depends on the type and complexity of surgery that you are having.  In most cases 7 to 10 days is sufficient to return to your regular exercise program.
