• The majority of patients undergoing cosmetic eyelid surgery report mild aching or burning that is usually well controlled with Tylenol and cold compresses.

• Swelling peaks on the morning after surgery and then mostly resolves over the next ten days. A small amount of puffiness, however, may persist for several months.

• Most people experience moderate bruising that begins to fade several days after surgery and is gone by two weeks.

• Normal day-to-day activities may be resumed within two days of surgery. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 2-3 weeks.
