Recommendations for Blepharoplasty

  • Place ice in a bag and cover it with a handkerchief or cloth for ten minutes on each eye. Do not leave the ice on continuously, as it may cause burns.
  • On the day of surgery, try to go to bed as late as possible and sleep in a semi-upright position for two days.
  • Wear dark glasses during the day and a hat or cap to avoid direct sunlight.
  • Use sunscreen on areas with bruises to prevent skin pigmentation.
  • Avoid going out on sunny days between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
  • Do not exercise for one month after surgery. Starting from the second month, you can resume all types of physical activity.
  • Use the eye drops prescribed by Dr. Alvarado 4 to 6 times a day to maintain eye lubrication.
  • For 15 days after surgery, DO NOT take medications containing aspirin, such as Alka-Seltzer, Aspirineta, Sevedol, etc. Avoid taking natural supplements such as Omega 3, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginger, Chia Seeds, Garlic capsules, etc.
  • Attend the suture removal appointment on the date specified by Dr. Giovanny Alvarado. Delays in suture removal can cause pustules to appear at the suture entry points on the eyelids.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before applying eye drops and avoid frequently touching your eyes.
