Blepharoplasty is one of the most common surgeries in plastic surgery, so it's possible to overlook some precautions and experience unexpected side effects. However, such accidents can be completely avoided with careful consideration beforehand. After the surgery, you should rest sitting on a comfortable chair with your face tilted back, and when sleeping, your head should be elevated. This will help the swelling subside quickly.
On the first day after surgery, it is recommended to apply cold compresses. Wrap ice cubes in a plastic bag and then cover them with a thin towel before applying around the eyes. The blood vessels will constrict, which can prevent bleeding from capillaries and reduce swelling. It also helps alleviate the pain that comes after the anesthesia wears off.
In the days following the surgery, take some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers to prevent infection.
