Study start date: December 1, 2020

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study aims to find out if using a compression dressing after upper eyelid surgery (called blepharoplasty) can make a difference in how patients feel and recover. The focus is on understanding if the compression dressing can help reduce swelling (edema), bruising (ecchymosis), pain, and irritation on the surface of the eyes. This is important because many people undergo this type of eyelid surgery for both cosmetic and functional reasons, so finding ways to improve comfort and recovery is beneficial. Participants in this study will either receive a compression dressing after their eyelid surgery or not. The study will then observe and compare the differences in swelling, bruising, pain, and eye irritation between the two groups. Although not explicitly mentioned, participants might experience some discomfort or relief depending on whether the dressing is used, and these outcomes will be assessed to determine the effectiveness of the dressing in improving postoperative recovery.
