Blepharoplasty is a procedure that gives you a fresher and rejuvenated look as it results to tighter eyelids. An incision is made on the upper eyelid to form a crease especially for those ethnic groups that have prominent eyelids. It is also a procedure that will help treat drooping or sagging eyelids.

Further, since the adaptability to procedures varies from person to person, every operation must be custom tailored to fit the needs of the individual.

So to ensure that the results come out the way you expect them to, it is important that you follow through with these nine helpful tips for a successful recovery.

1. Keep your head elevated. After blepharoplasty surgery it is important that you keep your head always above the level of the rest of your body especially when sleeping. This is done to reduce swelling which can promote faster healing. You can use two to three medium size pillows to prop up your head, or an inclined foam wedge will also do.

2. Keep a cold compress on.It is important to keep some cold compress on the orbital area to also reduce the swelling. This will also help relieve the pain that you will feel after the anesthesia wanes.

3. Avoid the stressful stuff. During the first week after surgery, it is important that you steer clear off any activities or factors that can strain your eyes. This includes watching television, playing any sports, wearing contact lenses or eye make-ups.

4. Keep those peepers clean. Your surgeon will give instructions on how to clean your eyes after surgery. Follow them carefully and make sure that you keep the process as clean as possible to prevent introducing bacteria and infection.

5. Get some eye protection. Use an eyeglass when you go out to protect your eyes from dust and other particles. Your eyes may also be extra sensitive and dark sun glasses can effectively protect your eyes from the glare.

6. Eat Right. Although you may not appreciate the results right away, eating right can actually help promote faster healing. By increasing your intake on foods that are rich in vitamins C and E, you promote faster healing.

7. Eye drops for comfort. Your eyes may tend to get dry and itchy days after blepharoplasty surgery, avoid rubbing them to avoid complications. Instead, use eye drops to keep the eyes moist and to wash off any particles that went inside.

8. Choose and Apply Ointment Carefully. When using eye drops or ointments it is advised to apply it from the inner to the outer canthus of the eye. You need to squeeze out a tiny bit and then remove it before you apply the rest of the solution. Ensuring a safe and aseptic technique prevents the introduction of bacteria which can lead to infection.

9. Give those eyes enough rest. A successful recovery entails that you give your eyes the rest that it deserves. Stress as we all know can contribute to delay healing especially on the traumatized eyelids and it can further tire the eyes causing it to dry out or itch easily.
