Struggling to Recover From Eyelid Surgery?

Are you one of the many having difficulties recovering from eyelid surgery? “I can’t miss work!”

“I have a wedding to attend!” Don’t fret! Here I am to give you the details on how you can make a speedy recovery that could save you both time and energy. On average, most patients are 90% back to normal in two weeks post-operation. Now, in reality, your recovery varies according to you. If you can’t miss work or that wedding you just can’t pass up is within a week after your eyelid surgery, it is strongly advised that you don’t even take the chance. Depending on the person, I’d like to say that

we all heal differently and at different times during the length of our lives. Because you had a bruise that healed in 2 days when you were 12, does not in any way mean you can expect the same from a blepharoplasty (eye lid surgery) at 36. How much bleeding there was during the eye lid surgery can also affect recuperation. The more you bleed = more bruising. Most qualified surgeons try their best to minimize the bleeding and bruising but, if the patient had a small blood vessel that was tough to halt bleeding during the procedure, you may have more bruising and thus, I repeat, it will take longer to recover. Studies have shown that complete and thorough healing can take up to one full year. Despite that, patients who underwent eyelid surgery usually feel that most of the healing occurred within two weeks of going through with the procedure. So, here are the facts: a quick recovery involves the simplest of tasks… Icing your eyelids, resting, elevating your head! That’s right, just 3 easy steps! Don’t even think of doing those tasks within the first few days and refraining from doing it anymore because, the bad news is, it’s not going to work. After two weeks of doing those simple tasks of putting ice on your eyelids post-op, resting profoundly, and elevating the head, you can expect to look nearly healed. Always remember that healing depends on the person! Some people feel as though it takes long to recover from eyelid surgery where others feel the time go by as quick as the wind. It can be hard to give an exact date or a guarantee for healing. Anyone who gives you a guarantee is not telling you the truth!
