Swelling After Lower Blepharoplasty

Maximum swelling is usually at about 3-5 days and goes away over a few months. You should sleep with your head elevated and cut back on salt to help the swelling.

Swelling from lower lid surgery can wax and wane over the first month or so.  Exercise or sleeping on your stomach will cause temporary swelling but after a while, this temporary swelling will no longer occur.  It can take a month or so.

Eyelid swelling is extremely common following
blepharoplasty. Following surgery, the majority of the swelling has disappeared
in about a week, but small amounts may persist for up to a month. The swelling
is typically worse in the morning, after lying down all night. It tends to
improve during the day when the patient is in upright position.

                  It
appears that your swelling is probably normal and would be anticipated after
this type of procedure. Elevating your head at night might accelerate your
recovery. If the swelling fails to improve, make sure you discuss the issue
with your plastic surgeon.
