I am 39 years old and am scheduled for an upper blepharoplsaty for vision concerns on May 4th. However, I already have plans for a vacation in Hawaii, leaving on May 18th. Is that too soon to travel? I am not overly concerned about being out with some bruising, but I'm very nervous about having the two events so close together. What would you suggest?

Answer: Vacationing soon after Blepharoplasty If all goes well, you are cutting it close, but the major risks of bleeding and infection should have resolved by two weeks after surgery. However, will you really be able to enjoy your vacation?

Answer: Acceptable to travel after two weeks It is acceptable to travel after two weeks since the time of your blepharoplasty. You may not be completely healed and may have some residual swelling and bruising. However, this will subside during your convalescence.
