Eyelid Surgery
What You Should Expect During Consultaion
Dr. Viral Desai will place a mirror to your face and ask you to tell him of the changes you would like to see from surgery. He will tell you whether or not your expectations are realistic and achievable. Dr. Viral Desai will consider several points when evaluating you for surgery, such as your allergies (if any), do you wear contact lenses or glasses, are you are seeing an eye specialist for any eye conditions and is there any excess skin on the upper eyelids or lower eyelids.
We give utmost importance to patient confidentiality and take strictest care to ensure your privacy. The staff at CPLSS understands that it can be difficult for a patient to make enquiries about such a delicate matter. It is our aim to make you feel as relaxed, comfortable and fully informed about the procedure as possible.
Preparation For Surgery
- STOP SMOKING & INTAKE OF CERTAIN MEDICATIONS: You should stop smoking (including the use of nicotine patches), intake any blood thinning tablets (i.e. aspirin/disprin), and intake vitamins at least one week prior to surgery.
- PRESCRIBED MEDICINES: Medicines prescribed by Dr. Viral Desai should be taken as advised.
- LOOSE COMFORTABLE CLOTHING FOR SURGERY: Your admission time will approximately be 30-60 minutes prior to your surgery. You need to wear loose comfortable clothing – with a top that is either buttoned or zipped at the front – not one that is pulled over the head.
What You Should Expect After Your Surgery
- DAY AFTER SURGERY SWELLING & BRUISING: Swelling and bruising will occur the day after surgery causing you some discomfort. This can take up to 1 week to subside.
- SLEEPING POSITION & COLD PACKS: Sleeping with your head elevated or using two pillows will help to minimize swelling. Applying cold packs to the eyes for 24 hours after surgery will help to reduce the swelling. It is important to note that every patient is different and some patients suffer more swelling or bruising than others.
- EYES WILL FEEL TIGHT FOR A TIME: Your eyes will feel tight for a time, but this is quite a normal reaction. Do not exercise, smoke or drink alcohol during the recovery period as this can slow the healing process. Do not expect too much too soon from yourself and remember that rest is an essential part of the healing process. It is very important to take the prescribed medicines.
- 3-5 DAYS OFF WORK: You will require 3-5days off work and you should discuss this with Dr.Viral Desai. He will inform you when strenuous exercise can be resumed or undertaken.
- SUTURES REMOVED AFTER 5 DAYS: Sutures will be removed after five days.Sutures will be removed after five days.
- NO CONTACT LENSES FOR 2 WEEKS: You will not be able to wear contact lenses for two weeks post-operatively and you will need to wear good UV protective sunglasses when exposed to sunlight.
