Bruising And Swelling After The Eyelid Surgery To avoid bruising and swelling after the eyelid surgery, we advise the following: 1. Don’t look directly at your computer, television, cell phone or tablet for too long and endeavour to rest your eyes at regular periods. 2. We recommend a higher pillow to help your blood circulation. While looking at your cell phone etc. pay attention to keep your head straight and hold your phone up high. 3. Follow a healthy sleeping pattern. 4. Don’t forget to take your medication in allergic situations. 5. Apply cold compresses, using a towel or cotton. 6. To remove the oedema, change your dressing often in hygienic conditions, with warm tea.
