How long it takes to recover from ptosis surgery depends on the individual, usually about 1 month for gradual recovery and about 3 months for stabilization. The stitches are usually removed in about five days after eyelid ptosis surgery, or a little longer if the patient is older. Recovery time also varies from person to person, with gradual recovery in about a month and stabilization in about 3 months. After the surgery, we need to strengthen the nursing care and avoid wet gauze before removing the stitches to prevent infection. If the patient’s wound develops scabs and increased secretion after surgery, use a cotton swab dipped in saline to gently wipe it. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol and eating stimulating food within one month after surgery, and the diet should be light and easy to digest. For one week after surgery, you need to put your pillow up when you sleep to reduce the swelling of the wound. It is recommended that patients undergoing ptosis surgery follow the doctor’s instructions, have regular checkups, and see a doctor when discomfort occurs.
