Following cosmetic surgery you will have cold compresses applied to the eye region and be carefully observed for the first 3 to 4 hours, to ensure that no bleeding occurs which may spoil the final result of your surgery. The upper and lower eyelid sutures consists of a single very fine thread beneath the skin surface running along the wound. There will be small strips of tape over the bridge of the nose and along the outer corners of the eyes to hold down the stitches. In the transconjunctival technique mentioned above, there are no sutures in place. You should expect the application of an antiseptic eye ointment postoperatively. This may blur your vision initially but this soon clears. A large pair of sunglasses helps to hide the effects of surgery.After your discharge please read and follow the postoperative instructions carefully.
