How long will the swelling last after my upper and lower lid blepharoplasty surgery?
Typically, the majority of the swelling subsides after the first two weeks following a blepharoplasty. Most of the bruising and swelling subsides by the 10th to 14th day after the surgery. We encourage patients to refrain from work or social activities for a minimum of two weeks if they do not want others to notice that they have had surgery.
