One month.
After a procedure such as blepharoplasty, it is advisable to wait at least 2 weeks before beginning or restarting a workout regimen.
Depending if you’re having uppers or lower eyelid surgery, the time to work out will change. For upper eyelid surgery I had outpatient to work out after three weeks. For Laura SURGERY I usually recommend they stay from working out from 3 to 6 weeks depending on my follow-up visits.
I typically recommend 7-10 days because exercise increases your postoperative swelling and potential risk of bleeding. Sometimes with lower lid blepharoplasty patients may need to wait 10-14 days depending on what type they had done and if there's any residual swelling noted at their postoperative visit.
