How do you massage your eyelids after blepharoplasty?
Faster recovery
Massage gets the blood circulation going and helps reduce swelling and bruising. Any scar tissue is softened, resulting in smoother skin with less visible scars.
Always follow your surgeon's specific instructions for the best result and to avoid any complications.
Wait at least two weeks
The general recommendation is to wait at least two weeks before starting massage after your eyelid surgery.
How to massage
- Clean your hands before touching the incision area
- Use a good cream to reduce friction
- Make gentle upward movements with light pressure
- Apply cold compresses as instructed to relieve pain
