Of all the surgeries Dr. Murphy performs, the recovery for his West Palm Beach eyelid surgery is typically the easiest. In most cases, our patients will have their sutures removed in 3 days with some mild bruising and swelling for about a week.
A consultation with Dr. Murphy leaves patients fully knowledgeable about their options. Schedule your consultation today to start on the road to facial rejuvenation. Immediately after the procedure, it’s normal to experience sensitivity to light, puffiness, swelling and bruising.
All of these effects may last for several days, however they will disappear gradually as your body recovers. In the meantime, Dr. Murphy will instruct you to apply cold compresses to reduce swelling, use drops to maintain the health of your eyes and take pain medication as directed to manage any discomfort. In a few days, we will have you return to our Palm Beach Gardens office so Dr. Murphy can remove your stitches and evaluate your progress to ensure that you’re healing properly. At that point, he’ll provide you with personalized guidance regarding when it’s safe for you to resume your normal daily routine and activities without any restrictions.
