Eyelid surgery
What can I expect afterwards?

At the end of the procedure, cold packs are placed over your eyes for comfort. You will normally be discharged home on the day of surgery, or the following day depending on your circumstances. Stitches are removed three to five days later. Bruising and swelling subside after one or two weeks in the majority of patients. There is a small possibility that you will experience a degree of lid separation for a short period after surgery, which may benefit from taping or massage as directed by your surgeon.
