Male Eyelid Surgery with Dr Hunt

Blepharoplasty aims to remove excess skin from the upper eyelids, or fat tissue from the lower eyelids, according to the patient’s aesthetic desires. The surgery can also be performed to improve eyelid function and vision that has been impaired by excess skin in this area.

Recovery after Male Blepharoplasty

The recovery period after male eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can take up to two weeks for most patients. During this time, make sure to take analgesic medication to alleviate potential pain and discomfort.

It is best to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first two weeks after surgery and make sure to take time off from work to allow your body to heal. Here are more recommendations for the recovery period after male eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty):

  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least two weeks
  • Sleep with your head elevated
  • Keep the incisions clean and dry at all times
  • Have a healthy and balanced diet
  • Keep your body hydrated

To avoid risks and complications that could occur during the recovery period make sure to follow Dr Hunt’s indications.
