The recovery period for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) in Riyadh (علاج ترهل الجفون في الرياض) typically ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual’s healing process. Here’s a breakdown:

General Recovery Timeline:

  • Days 1–3:
    Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyes. Cold compresses and rest are recommended.

  • Days 4–7:
    Most discomfort subsides. Stitches (if non-dissolvable) are usually removed around day 5–7.

  • Week 2:
    Swelling and bruising continue to fade. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and light activities.

  • Weeks 3–4:
    Noticeable results appear. Most people can resume all normal activities, including makeup use and exercise.

  • 1 Month and Beyond:
    Final results become more visible. Incision lines fade gradually and are usually well-concealed.


📝 Tips for Faster Healing:

  • Sleep with your head elevated

  • Avoid rubbing your eyes

  • Wear sunglasses outdoors

  • Follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully
