On my consult for a Blepharoplasty the Dr said I would be able to drive in 3 days. Looking at some of the pictures and reading the testimony's on here I am now a bit skeptical. It's looking like the recovery is a little longer than I expected. There are a few stories that support my thoughts, but most of the stories lead me to believe otherwise. I have scheduled my procedure, I just want to know if I will be able to perform regular daily tasks after 5 days. ( going to work ) Thank you

Answer: Activity after upper eyelid blepharoplasty After a couple of days most people feel comfortable driving, as long as you don't have excessive swelling. For going back to work the time frame will vary. Most people say that there eyes get dry and feel uncomfortable when they do a lot of reading or work on the computer. This is for at least the first 7-10 days. And if you have to deal directly with the public you may look bruised and swollen for at least 10 days.

Answer: Driving after Blepharoplasty Recovery following blepharoplasty can be variable. Some patients can drive after 3 days if they have had minimal procedures and have mild swelling. However, others may have swelling and bruising lasting 7-10 days which may make driving or returning to work a bit more challenging. Above all, we as doctors want our patients to be safe. So, please don't push yourself to drive or return to work too soon. Your doctor can best advise you as to when it is safe to drive and return to work.
