What should be considered after an upper eyelid lift?

Immediately after the surgery it is recommended to cool the wound, as this can reduce the swelling. Cooling goggles are available in the trade for this purpose. Sleeping with a raised upper body also counteracts swelling.

Physical exertion should be avoided for at least 14 days after the procedure. When showering and washing hair, the wound should be kept as dry as possible, eye cosmetics should be avoided as well as direct sunlight.
