In the case of adults, most eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia. After eyelid surgery, the patient can usually leave the same day. After the operation or often during the operation, bruising and swelling of the eyelids appear, the extent of which can increase up to 48 hours after the operation.

In the case of one-sided surgery, the bruise and swelling can also spread around the other eye, and it almost always extends to the lower eyelids due to the laxity of the tissues around the eyes. Local cooling and icing of the eyelids is recommended, carefully with ice gel, and pain relievers (non-aspirin active) are also recommended.

The sutures are usually removed 7-10 days, or two weeks after the operation for certain operations. During the first week, water should not come into contact with the wound, you should not apply make-up, do sports, go to a hot bath, eat spicy food, and it is not recommended to work, if this can be done.
