Upper and lower eyelid surgery aftercare.

Distinct upper-eyelid and lower-eyelid or eye-bag surgery pathways, including eye-surface and vision safety. Upper-eyelid blepharoplasty usually addresses excess upper-lid skin through a crease incision. Lower-eyelid or eye-bag surgery may use a skin incision below the lashes or a transconjunctival approach inside the lid, with fat removal or repositioning and different risks to lid position and the eye surface. Combined upper and lower surgery requires both branches to be followed. Recommendations vary by surgeon, technique, medicines, comorbidities, and local pathway.
