Lower blepharoplasty, RGP contact lense wearer - How long would I have to wait before wearing my lenses again after surgery?

August 16, 2023
Asked By:Gentle693833 in Monson, Maine

I have genetic eye hollowing and some sagging skin on both my upper and lower eyes. I want to get a lower blepharoplasty, possibly also an upper blepharoplasty, but I'm an RGP contact lense wearer. My concerns are with the healing process. If I had to choose one or the other, I'd choose to address the eye bags. How long would I have to wait before wearing my lenses again after surgery? This is important because I have no practical alternative to RGPs.
