How can I help swelling from eye lid surgery go down faster?
Alex asked:
I had a ptosis surgery on my eye lid and it’s been 6 weeks since the surgery. The swelling was supposed to go down two weeks after the surgery, but obviously it didn’t. I have a big lump over my eye and it looks really creepy! My doctor said that ice really doesn’t help later then 48 hours after surgery. I was wondering if there was any other technique anyone had? I just started school so that’s why I want it to go away! Thanx!

If the swelling has lingered three times as long as it was supposed to, I’d think there might be something going on. Have you called and asked your doctor? That’s my best advice. Maybe he/she can check you out and make sure everything is healing okay and offer suggestions to help with the swelling.
Good luck!
