Smoking should stop from the date of the operation until 10-14 days after the treatment. Any activities that will increase blood pressure should also be halted.

If both lower and upper eyelid procedures are performed together, the total operating time is around 90 minutes
Some swelling might occur but should subside within a few days
It is recommended that you rest for 2 days after the surgery and sleep on a high pillow
There are no age related restrictions for eye surgery
Exposing the area to strong sunlight is not recommended after surgery, so if a summer holiday is planned, it would be best to schedule your surgery at another time
