7 days post Upper Blepharoplasty and a breast augmentation, how long can I expect for the swelling to go down?

It is natural to expect to some bruising and swelling after upper and lower lid blepharoplasty.  While every patient is different in their healing capabilities and recovery time, in general, the majority of your swelling should resolve within 10-14 days. Be patient, and make sure to follow up with your plastic surgeon.Good Luck!

For any type of surgery, the immediate swelling has usually subsided such that you are presentable within a week to ten days. There is always fluctuating subtle edema that lasts for 6 - 12 months before a final result is evident. Your eyelid tissue will continue to shrink wrap to conform to you eye socket. Your breast implants will settle down into their pockets.There will be good days, bad days, proportionate to your body water. It can be difficult to stay patient. Time is your best friend. Stay in communication with your surgeon.

Seven days after a bleph most of the swelling will be gone but not all. I have several times seen patients develop a bit more swelling on one side after 4-5 days and it seems to be because they are feeling better and not sleeping flat on their back with their icepacks on anymore. But have returned to sleeping on one side and the down side swells more. I bet this will be short lived, but discuss with your surgeon.
