Three to four weeks after your eyelid surgery any vision-related symptoms will have disappeared. You may resume vigorous exercise, including bending and lifting. You may resume wearing contact lenses. However, the skin around your eyes following eyelid surgery must be treated with extra care for several months.
You should wear sun block around your eyelids and darkly tinted sunglasses to protect your eyes from wind and sun irritation. The results of your cosmetic eyelid surgery are long lasting. However, keep in mind that your face will continue to age. Your doctor can advise you about the best way to maintain your results.
You will return to our office for follow-up care at designated intervals to evaluate your progress.
