I am planning an upper blepharlasty to be done at the end of the month. I am concerned with the pain afterward. What type of pain medication do you usually prescribe. My surgeon can do this with a local, but I requested anesthesia because I am a 64 yr old chicken. I am also having tags removed from lower eyelids and 3 face moles shaved.

Answer: Minimal pain after upper eyelid surgery Pain after an upper blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery) is surprisingly minimal. Most of my patients will either take Tylenol. Some will take nothing at all! I do prescribe hydrocodone with Tylenol if a patient prefers, but most end up not using it. I expect you'll be pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the whole process is.All the best,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery®

Answer: Pain Medication for Upper Blepharoplasty Pain is minimal to none following an upper blepharoplasty. Tylenol will usually be enough but I prescribe Vicodin for those patients who need it.
