What can Beverly Hills area patients expect from eyelid surgery recovery?
When patients are interested in having blepharoplasty done to improve the appearance of their eyes, they may want to learn about what they can expect for recovery from eyelid surgery. Dr. Dennis Dass, MD is a board certified plastic surgeon in the Beverly Hills area who encourages patients to take the time to fully understand the procedure and all that is involved during and after it for healing and recovery.
Recovery from eyelid surgery can take up to two weeks, depending on many factors. Patients are often encouraged to take this time off work and activities to facilitate faster healing and reduce the likelihood of complications such as infection. The normal time is 8-12 days, but this can be determined with follow-up appointments at the doctor’s office to ensure healing is occurring as expected and patients are able to return to work. Patients should also take it easy and avoid strenuous activities such as exercise. Dr. Dennis Dass, MD will work closely with patients to help them develop a routine that will not affect the healing of their eyelids and ensure they avoid problems that may arise with poor care and attention to the surgical area.
During the healing process, many patients will experience bruising and swelling. This is normal and may be controlled by ice on the area. Mild discomfort may also occur and it can be handled with prescription pain medications while patients are recovering. Patients are welcome to speak with Dr. Dennis Dass, MD to discuss what they can expect during the healing process and help combat them with appropriate treatments and medications as necessary.
