What is the recovery from eyelid surgery like?
The eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body, and it heals faster that any other area. Sutures come out in only a few days, and patients can then start wearing makeup. Many patients have surgery mid-week, and are back to work the following Monday. We ask patients to refrain from driving and bending over for 24 hours following surgery, but after that most normal activities are OK.
