How long will it take to recover from double eyelid surgery?

Hello, and thank you sharing your question. Most people are able to return to work and other daily activities within 10 to 14 days after eyelid surgery. You should feel comfortable reading within 2 or 3 days, but should avoid putting on makeup or wearing contact lenses for two weeks. Avoid strenuous physical activity for at least the first three weeks. Keep in mind that your results can take anywhere from six months to a year to fully develop.
