After Your Eyelid Reconstruction: Recovery & Results

Eyelid reconstruction recovery can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, but most patients can expect initial swelling and bruising to resolve within two weeks. You’ll likely need to take a few days off work and follow detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing. Final results—restored eyelid function and improved appearance—appear as healing progresses and are typically long-lasting. Follow-up visits will ensure that your recovery stays on track.
