Hi adg80,Thanks for your question. The answer depends on what type of eye surgery you've had. For blepharoplasties, ptosis repairs and soft tissue eyelid surgery in general, we recommend avoiding heavy physical activity for 2 weeks. At that point, we usually recommend that patients resume 50% of their usual routine for a week, then 75% for a week, then back to normal at a month. However, every patient and every procedure differs and so the recommendations may change. I would recommend you discuss this with your surgeon. Good luck!
