My patients use regular or extra strength Tylenol for pain management and that, over the years, seems to do the trick. I love ice, period. In eye surgery, whether upper and/or lower eyelid surgery, I repeatedly stress cold compresses. The cold compresses helps with pain management as well as in healing. In this area, it is major important. Thank you for your question.
Typically not, but you can expect some mild pain for 2-3 days.
Actually, eyelid surgery is painless. Patients do very well with this surgery and have full recovery within a week outside of some mild swelling.
All surgeries are painful !!! That why you need anesthesia. Either general anesthesia or local anesthesia would work. There might some pain afterward for a few days, some pain medications would help during your recovery.
