After blepharoplasty, you should wait at least 3 to 5 days to wash your eyes.
Washing too soon can increase the risk of infection, irritation, and delayed healing.
During the first few days post-surgery, avoid washing your eyes. Instead, use sterile saline solution and clean cotton swabs to gently dab around the eyes if necessary. This helps to keep the area clean without disturbing the incisions.
From day 5 onwards, you can begin to gently wash your eyes with water. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and avoid getting soap directly into your eyes. Be very gentle to avoid disturbing the healing tissue.
By two weeks post-surgery, you should be able to resume your normal washing routine, but continue to be gentle around the surgical area. At this stage, most of the swelling and bruising should have subsided.
