Taking care of your eyes after eye lift surgery is essential for fast healing. The following information will help you spur the healing of your eyes.

Give your Eyes Time to Heal

Most people go back to their daily routine as soon as they reach home. However, you should give your eyes ample time to heal. Take rest as much as possible, and complete important tasks before the surgery.

Protect your Eyes

Keep your eyes safe from outside elements, especially the sun and wind. While the wind may blow irritants into your eyes, the sun can make your eyes puffy and raw. If possible, stay inside. If you have to go out, be sure to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.

Do Not Stress your Eyes

Screen time can severely exert your eyes. Stay away from reading emails or binge-watching television serials during your recovery period. Staring at a screen for too long can cause dry eyes, which leads to irritation and an increase in healing time.

Showering

Take showers from the neck down for at least a week after surgery. Water pressure on your eyes can cause the stitches to rip apart. Wipe your face with a damp cloth or face wipe in the meantime. Also, do not apply makeup products in the eye area.

Keep applying cold compresses to your eyes, as it will calm irritants and speed the recovery process. Follow all the recovery steps of your doctor thoroughly, and be sure to ask questions if you have doubts.
