Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi | Blepharoplasty Post-Operative Instructions

The most informative video I have found since having lower eye bags removed a week ago.

My jowls are more pronounced, will they disappear eventually? Is there any exercise I can do to get rid of them?

Thank you

I had both my low and upper surgery 4 weeks and 3 days ago and my eye lids still swelling. Is it normal and what should i do to help reduce swelling? Thanks doc.

The doctor just did my upper eyelid. Never took any antibiotics or pain medication. The pain wasn't that bad. Yes...a little tense but not super painful. No! The stitches were not removed. They were the faded away kind. Hydrogen peroxide worked perfectly. Just had the surgery. Still in healing phase. So far👍

I have retained suture in my upper eyelid after unsuccessful removal. Long one inside the eyelid. Im day 11 post upper & lower blepharoplasty. My surgeon told me to remove immediately - awaiting the date- other advised to leave it. Its the blue non-absorbable.Could i have your opinion please?

Nice
Doc thank you

When can I take a shower after the surgery?

Thank you so much!!! You are the best!!!

Great video and tons of info that I need for my sugery in 3 days! I will be passing this on!! Didn’t have any of this info and have been searching the web for something to ”calm my nerves” 😂😂. Getting upper and lower done. Sure hope it all goes well 🙏

hi doc!
I would appreciate if I could have your opinion about some concerns i have. It’s been 11 weeks since i had an upper blepharoplasty and a transconjunctival blepharoplasty and although the infraorbital area has small amount of rezidual edema, my cheekbones and my cheeks are swollen, and even under my jawline i have some edema, my face has become a little rounder, as if the swelling came down. From your experience, is this normal that the edema went down and last this long? Because it doesnt seem to be getting better. I also mention that i have no signs of infection, i’m 26 years old and no health problems.
I also had a facial ultrasound which confirms the fact that I have an amount of edema in the genian region of the face, bilateral

I am having this procedure done I Australia. I wish I could have it done with this amazing and caring Dr. ❤ Thank you for this video.

Good afternoon, Doctor.Thank you very much for such detailed instructions.I had an operation 4 days ago in Moscow, lower transconjunctive blepharoplasty with fat displacement.I have very strong edema and hematomas.I did ultrasound massage without affecting the leukoalastyrs under the eyes and the place of fat fixation.Could I move the fat pads? Does fat hold fast in a new place?I have one fixation point right next to my nose. And then won't there be a shift to the old place? I am very worried that the massage could hurt, although I did it carefully.I would be grateful for an answer.Sincerely, Larisa.

Are you in Florida

Can you tell me the vitamins to use please

By far the best explanation, far better than my doctor gave me. I had Upper Bleth yesterday. This really is so helpful to me.

Hi there. Great video
.you are very beautiful BTW.

I am having a direct eyebrow lift. Apparently I am due to have stitches removed on day 6. Do you think that is a bit soon with the stitches doing fair bit of work?

Should I try and get it a little later than day 6?

Happy new year to you

Thank you! This is by far the most in depth and comprehensive recovery description I have heard! You have been so honest and straight forward…it is so refreshing! I feel more ‘normal’ having seen your video! I am no longer scared of what is happening to me.

When can I wear swimming goggles since they snug around the eyes after lower eyelid surgery?

Thanks you for this beautiful video

Yes totally agree with the comment prior! BEST post-po video out there for Blepharoplasty. Thank you so much Dr.!
I have been watching all of these videos. Have a consult on Monday for upper & lower..i am a 43yr old woman.
Thank u again for your very very informative video!♥️♥️

is it possible to get surgery without antibiotics

Fantastic video!

Thank you doctor for your clear , detailed, extensive explanation.

Hi, I am considering to get my upper lid and lower surgery oversea comesticplastic surgeryhospital. I was told that the healing would be within 1 week but I am feeling nervous and not sure if I can believe what they said. I am so glad I came across this video.
One question I like to ask is, the potential blood bleed behind the eye ball that could lead to blindness if not discovered in time. During what period after the operation do we need to look out for these sort of symptoms? Are they normally within week 1, 2, 3 or could be longer before we would experience the symptoms?

Thank you! VERY comprehensive!! Also, thank you for explaining chemosis - which can be quite scary until explained.

This is fantastic. Getting the procedure done in a couple weeks, and while my doctor is very good, nothing can beat this video. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

I'm on day 7 after blepharoplasty surgery and my eyes are worse today then day 3. I'm freaking out. The fat bags looks like they were moved further down instead of removed from my under eye. I'm not sure if I'm swollen or if they just moved the fat and I now have a bulge. I'm very scared. 😭

Is busted blood vessels inside the eye normal after under eye blepharoplasty?

This is an amazing tutorial. Thank you so, so much. Like another poster, my surgeon just briefly had time to tell me to apply chloramphenicol to eyes on night 1 & I got a prescription for gel and drops. On Day 4 now and my eyelids are SO uncomfortable and tight and it feels like there's something in one eye. The swelling and bruising doesn't bother me. Not seeing the surgeon for another 9 days.. Would feel much more comfortable if my clinic was as thorough as this one!

By far, the absolute best post-op blepharoplasty video available today. When I think of the two-page photocopied handout I was given as I was leaving the clinic I chose in Canada, I was so NOT prepared for what I was about to experience. No one talks about the depression and I have been looking at myself in the mirror for the past week and wondering why I did this to myself. I am going in for removal of sutures in a couple of days... and I feel so much better about the whole process. Thank you so much, Doctor. This video was a balm on my injured eyes and soul.

Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi, has about been the only doctor who has provided such great and through post operative information that most doctors don’t.

Very clear and thorough. Really helpful. It’s a long list, will need to write down. Good doctor. Grateful.

Another thing that wasn’t talked about with me, is the Dr used laser, not a blade, that’s what stirred me during the procedure, I had very light twilight sedation, wouldn’t have it another way, but boy, the smell of burning flesh!!😩

No video.

Hello, thanks for the info... My question is..
Is there a Chance of one eye getting Hypertropia after lower lid Blepharoplasty??❓please

Thank you for this video, super helpful! I had my upper eyelid surgery yesterday. The surgeon was very busy so didn’t spend time afterwards discussing what to do, apart from giving my a prescription & advising me to keeping elevated. I had been googling myself so have been icing since yesterday and I think that is definitely helping. Thanks again Doctor, your video has really helped me.

The best video I’ve come across. Very thorough with a calm, measured gentle delivery. Thank you.

My surgeon didn’t give me all the specific instructions that you discuss so thank you! I am wondering when you would say someone can resume exercise? I am a Peloton rider and that can be pretty strenuous. How many days/weeks do I need to wait?

Trans for sure

Love how thorough she is.

Thank you
