Ptosis surgery healing. Will it be affected by masturbation?

Question

i had ptosis surgery 2 weeks ago 2 days or day after the surgery as i can remember i kind of masturbated it is more than 2 weeks after the surgey is this going to have an effect over the surgery's result later because it is considered to be a strenuous activity

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for the interesting question which I have never considered before. Masturbating probably causes extra squeezing of the eyelid muscles and increased blood flow to the eyelids, but I believe it will not change the results of the surgery. If you are not satisfied with your ptosis repair, you should make sure to follow up with your surgeon. Good luck.

You should be ok at this point :)Stop if you feel pressure or pain in your eyelid.  Check with your surgeon regarding the length of time he or she recommends pausing strenuous activity.  Good luck.
