Has anyone heard of "lower eyelid exercises" after blepharoplasty? Is this a legitimate post op procedure? (Photo)

Press your index finger along base of lashes and pull lower lid straight up as far as you can go. This exercise is to be performed one eye at a time, five times each eye and held for 30 seconds, every hour for 10 hours every day. This has been recommended 5 weeks after surgery, yet skin is very red and sore.
