Usually, we recommend no strenuous activity for 6 weeks. Rollercoaster will fall in this category. You may have increase inter-cranial pressure by being upside down and that can cause serious complication, such as severe bleeding.

Thank you for posting your photo and sharing your case.  In most cases, it is perfectly fine to return to normal activity three weeks after eyelid surgery.  Make sure that your surgeon is aware of your concerns.  Good luck!

Joseph A. Eviatar, MD, FACS · Answer

At the 6 week mark, your eyelids are still healing.  This skin is the most delicate in the body.  You should always ask your doctor about what level of activity is advisable based on your healing process.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

By three weeks you may be ok to go on a roller coaster. Best to ask your surgeon if it is OK. He should have the final decision.

George C. Peck, Jr, MD · Answer

In general four weeks after a lower lid blepharoplasty, a patients physical activity is unrestricted however, common sense prevails. Some rides at attraction parks are associated with relatively high G forces which may cause discomfort or pain. You may want to avoid those rides. Please consult with your surgeon.
