I would recommend asking this question of your surgeon, as he or she has the most information in regards to your particular surgery and may have a preference as to when you can resume NSAIDS after your blepharoplasty. In the case of a routine blepharoplasty in a completely healthy person, I would say it would be safe to resume NSAIDS one week after the surgery.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

it certainly acceptable to restart taking NSAIDs 2 weeks after  your blepharoplasty. It's also  best check in with your surgeon to see what their instructions are.
