How do you care for your skin after blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is an aesthetic procedure designed to correct excess skin, puffiness or sagging of the eyelids. It rejuvenates the eyes while preserving their natural expression. After the operation, the skin of the eyelid is particularly sensitive. Adopting simple, appropriate gestures helps to promote healing, avoid irritation and prolong the aesthetic benefits of the procedure.

Simple everyday gestures

Quickly soothe feelings of discomfort
Why?
After blepharoplasty, the eyelids may experience edema, bruising, warmth or tightness.
How?
Apply thermal spring water as a spray or as sterile compresses for 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day, on closed eyelids.
Gentle cleaning
Why?
Gentle, sanitizing cleansing helps prevent the risk of infection or irritation, while respecting fragile skin.
How?
Use a sanitizing cleanser without perfumes or harsh ingredients;
Avoid hot water and rubbing;
Gently pat dry with clean gauze.
Repairing and moisturizing the skin after the blepharoplasty procedure
Why?
After blepharoplasty, the skin, weakened by the surgical procedure, needs appropriate care to soothe discomfort, protect the treated area and support the healing process.
How?
Apply a protective repair cream adapted to sensitive skin once or twice a day, until skin regains comfort and suppleness.
Prolonging the anti-aging effect
Why?
Once the skin has healed, a targeted treatment maintains the benefits of the procedure, limits skin slackening and prolongs the radiance of the eyes.
How?
Once healing is complete,apply a daily eye contour treatment with a lifting effect.

What to do in the first 24/48 hours after a blepharoplasty?

Follow the surgeon's instructions carefully;
Avoid touching, rubbing or scratching the eyelids;
Do not take part in saunas, steam baths or strenuous exercise;
Do not apply even light make-up;

Good sun protection habits
