Male patients are advised to take off at least five to seven days of work after their male blepharoplasty procedure. The uncomfortable part of the surgery will only last a day or two but the “social recovery” of bruising and swelling that is visible to others will last up to two weeks. You can hide the bruising with glasses or sunglasses and as long as you avoid drafts, the sun and wind, you may return to a non-physical job. To avoid explaining yourself to your co-workers, you may want to stay out for up to two weeks.
