How long does it take to heal after a Ptosis repair surgery?
There can be swelling and bruising after the surgery. Most patients recover quite quickly although there can be some bruising and/or swelling for up to several weeks. The swelling tends to be worse in the morning. Although you will have little discomfort and may feel well enough to return to work a few days after surgery, you should avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least two weeks. It may take six to twelve weeks to regain normal strength in the slipped, weakened muscle.
