Exercises to speed lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) recovery

In this video, I demonstrate the two key exercises that I sometimes ask my lower blepharoplasty patients to perform during their early healing.
These exercises are intended to speed the resolution of temporary lower eyelid malposition (retraction or ectropion) related to swelling and/or temporary orbicularis muscle weakness after eyelid surgery
Not every patient needs to perform these exercises. If you are one of my patients, and I have not asked you to do them, make sure to check with me before instituting them.
Similarly, if I am not your surgeon, get your surgeon’s specific approval before trying these exercises.
That being said, I have found these exercises work wonders!
Happy healing!

3 year old video and no one commented on whether it worked for them or not. I'm still gonna try them. Almost 4 weeks from lower transcutaneous blepharoplasty and the right eye is just slightly lower in the corner.
