Sleep after Blepharoplasty
If you've decided to have eyelid surgery, it's important to focus on your recovery. Below you'll find some helpful tips for sleeping after eyelid surgery.
It is important to sleep after surgery. Sleep can help you heal faster and achieve the best results. Your body and cells repair themselves during sleep, which is crucial for optimal healing. Since the eye area is sensitive immediately after surgery, it is important to sleep on your back and keep your head elevated. Use pillows to keep your head at an angle of at least 45 degrees. If you are not already sleeping on your back, practice sleeping on your back in advance (at least a month), as this is very important during your recovery.
Just as with sleeping on your back, it's important to practice sleeping with your head elevated to ensure optimal healing after surgery. Keep your head above your heart at all times for at least the first month following eyelid surgery. You can use several pillows or get a wedge pillow for the recovery period. Some people even choose to sleep in their recliner for the first week, until they get used to sleeping in an inclined position.
Recovery process after blepharoplasty
The recovery process for lower eyelid surgery is much faster than for other cosmetic surgeries. In fact, most patients resume their normal daily activities within two weeks. The most common symptoms after the operation are swelling, itching or dry eyes, and some bruising. These symptoms should disappear within the first two weeks.
Medications may be used to minimize pain or discomfort after surgery. As we have seen, it is essential to get plenty of rest during the first few weeks of recovery. In addition, avoid activities such as swimming, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure.
Finding the right sleeping position after blepharoplasty
Sleeping on your back and elevated after eyelid surgery is one of the most important parts of your recovery period. The skin around the eyes is very delicate after eyelid surgery. Any friction caused by sleeping on your side or stomach can damage the skin and impact the results. It can also lead to increased swelling, damage the sutures, and even cause bleeding.
