sightseeing after eyelid liftIt is not unusual for patients coming to Costa Rica for their eyelid lift to want to take advantage of their trip to explore nature. Sightseeing in the mountains, the rainforest, or the beach is an excellent way to spend time recovering from your surgery. However, it is important to consider that rest is essential to avoiding unnecessary swelling and inflammation that will slow recovery. Also, avoiding direct sun exposure will prevent pigmentation of the incision scars and skin around the operated sites. You can enjoy our beautiful country as you recover if you take the necessary precautions and follow your surgeon’s instructions.
