Post-Surgery Skincare for Blepharoplasty Patients in Beverly Hills, CA

Undergoing blepharoplasty is a transformative step toward a brighter, more youthful appearance. To achieve the best results, proper post-surgery skincare is essential. At Privé Beverly Hills, Dr. Catherine S. Chang, a renowned blepharoplasty expert in Beverly Hills, offers patients expert guidance and a selection of medical-grade products to support their healing journey.

Why Post-Surgery Skincare Matters

After eyelid lift surgery, the skin around your eyes is delicate and requires special care. By following a tailored post-surgery skincare routine, you can reduce swelling, minimize scarring, and ensure long-lasting results.

Keep the Area Clean

• Use a gentle, soothing cleanser, such as iS Clinical Cleansing Complex, to keep the area clean without irritation.
• Avoid scrubbing or over-moisturizing the surgical area.

Apply Prescribed Ointments

• Follow Dr. Chang’s recommendations for post-surgical ointments like EltaMD Laser Balm, designed to promote healing and prevent infection.

3. Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage

• Wear sunglasses to shield your eyes from UV rays.
• Use a gentle broad-spectrum sunscreen like EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 once approved by Dr. Chang.

Hydrate and Moisturize

• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
• Use a lightweight, soothing moisturizer, such as SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel, around the eyes as directed.

Avoid Makeup

• Hold off on applying makeup until Dr. Chang confirms it is safe to do so.

Minimize Eye Strain

• Avoid prolonged screen time, reading, or activities that could strain your eyes.

Use Cold Compresses

• Apply cold compresses during the first week to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Long-Term Skincare for Maintenance

Maintaining a consistent skincare routine after healing is essential to protect your surgical investment and ensure long-lasting results. Incorporating high-quality skincare products into your regimen can help keep your skin around the eyes looking youthful and refreshed. Products with antioxidants are a great addition to your routine, such as SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, which helps protect against environmental damage and free radicals. To support collagen production and elasticity, consider using iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex, enriched with peptides that promote firmer, smoother skin. For hydration and a plumping effect, SkinMedica HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator is an excellent choice to restore and maintain moisture balance in the delicate eye area.

What to Expect After Blepharoplasty

While the recovery process varies from patient to patient, it is common to experience mild discomfort in the initial days following surgery. You may notice tenderness and temporary blurred vision, which typically subside as the area begins to heal. Swelling and bruising are also common but are generally most pronounced during the first week, with significant improvement seen within 1–2 weeks.

The final results of your blepharoplasty will gradually become apparent over several months, with visible improvements peaking around 6–8 months. By following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions and maintaining a tailored skincare routine, you can enjoy refreshed, youthful-looking eyes that complement your natural beauty for years to come.
