Recovery At
first the incisions will probably be red and somewhat bumpy. Eventually,
the resulting scar should become flat and inconspicuous. Your sutures
(stitches) will be removed sometime within the first week. The
swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually subside,
and you'll start to look and feel better each day. Swelling and bruising
varies considerably from person to person. Bruising typically disappears
within seven to ten days. Within the first week you will be permitted
to use makeup, if desired, to conceal any discoloration. Your
vision may continue to be somewhat blurry for a few days or longer.
Your eyes may be temporarily sensitive to light, and you may experience
excess tearing or dryness. You may receive eyedroppers to help relieve
any burning or itching. Results Upper
eyelid blepharoplasty can make a remarkable difference in the appearance
of the face, alleviating the appearance of tiredness and old age.
The eyes appear fresher and more youthful, and these results may last
for many years. The degree of improvement varies from patient to patient.
Hospital Admission This
depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon's. Upper eyelid
blepharoplasty can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital,
or in an ambulatory surgical suite under either general or local anesthesia.
Anesthetic General
or Local AnesthesiaPre Operative Care -
Inform us about any allergies, any serious medical condition(s), and
all medications you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription).-
Avoid aspirin and aspirin-containing medicines for two weeks prior
to surgery. Post Operative Care For
the first week, you'll need to avoid activities that dry the eyes,
including reading, watching television, wearing contacts, and using
a computer. Also avoid excessive blinking, which leads to increased
swelling. You should also wear dark sunglasses for a couple of weeks
to protect your eyes from wind and sun irritation. The eyes may tire
easily for several weeks; frequent naps are helpful.For
the first three or four weeks, you should avoid any activity that
increases blood flow to the eyes, including bending, lifting, crying
and sports. Your surgeon will let you know when you are ready for
exercise. Also avoid drinking alcohol, which can lead to fluid retention
and delay recovery. |
