Post Op Massage After Upper Eye Lid Surgery?

Massage after upper eyelid surgery is a matter of preference by the surgeon.  Some surgeons may recommend it and others may not.  I would advise you to follow the instructions of your surgeon, since he has the most knowledge about your particular procedure.   

Thank you for your question. There is some evidence that musculo-lymphatic drainage massage is beneficial in managing soft tissue swelling. I am not aware of specific studies on the eyelids, but it may be help to speed up your recovery.  Massage is also used on the lid to assist with positioning after certain lid tightening procedures.  Curiosity is a positive trait.  Discuss your questions further with your surgeon. Best wishes.

I sometimes instruct patients to massage eyelid incisions depending on how I feel the incisions are healing. Sometimes scar evolution and softening may be enhanced by massaging.

However, every surgeons post operative instructions is slightly different, so this may be a baseline instruction for your surgeon.
