Is the pain severe after upper and lower lid blepharoplasty surgery?
No. There is mild-to-moderate discomfort the first day or two after a blepharoplasty. Many patients just take Tylenol for the entire postoperative course and do not find it painful. Some patients take two pain pills the first night to help them sleep. Many patients may experience a headache in the first day or two after the surgery. Tylenol is taken as needed for minor discomfort for the remainder of the week.
