Is the recovery after ptosis surgery painful?

Recovery from droopy eyelid surgery should not be painful. Your oculoplastic surgeon has extensive experience utilizing minimally invasive approaches for achieving the best results and the least amount of swelling and bruising. The use of microsurgical techniques allows your surgeon to delicately handle tissues, causing the least amount of tissue trauma. Therefore, patients can expect little postoperative pain. They are also instructed by their surgeon to take NSAIDs, such as Advil or Aleve, the night of the surgery, but most patients do well without pain medication after the first day.
