Gel Pads to Speed Up Blepharoplasty Healing?

Luls,
Don't do anything that could compromise your surgery unless it is approved by your surgeon.  For now, get out the shades and put in a call to your surgeon for the answer as to what he/she thinks.  Good luck!

There are several things that can be done to keep brusing and swelling down to a minimum with any facial procedure such as blepharoplasty or facelift
1. Keep off aspirin or aspirin containing products for 2 weeks prior to surgery and after surgery.
2. Take an arnica base product prior to surgery or Bromelan - get instructions from her surgeon on recommendations for these products
3. Keep your head elevated post surgery
4. Keep iced compresses on the eyelids as much as possible for the first 36 hours after surgery
5. Keep your blood pressure under control following surgery. This is done avoiding activities that increase your blood pressure such as bending, stooping, lifting, straining etc.
Following these tips you should enjoy a speedy recovery. Everyone is different and can expect different results.

This is a biggy for checking with your doctor. There are different techniques for lower lid surgery. Some procedures undermine the skin only. For these patients, I am not comfortable having the patient apply a sticky gel pad. I don't know what you had done, but please ask your own doctor.
