How Much Swelling Occurs after Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Swelling after eyelid surgery is affected by factors such as :
– Surgical technique – Anesthesia method
– Immediate care after completion of surgery – At home aftercare
– The existence of other conditions such as sinus problems and allergies
In our practice, we’ve developed a system to minimize swelling after surgery by using
minimally traumatic surgical technique, local anesthesia with LITE™ intravenous sedation
and by specific processes to care for our patients immediately after surgery and for
after they go home. For most of our patients, swelling is minimal and they can return to
work within one week.
