What is the recovery after eyelid surgery?

It’s normal for the eyelids to feel tight and sore after eyelid surgery, but this can be managed with pain medication. Swelling and bruising are common, typically resolving within the first one to two weeks. Sutures and any bolsters are typically removed at the one week follow up appointment. Most patients feel well enough to return to work and other normal activities by a week after surgery
