# Can I exercise after 3 snip procedure surgery?

Exercise after a three snip procedure should restart gradually so the inner eyelid can heal safely.

## Gentle activity in the early days

Light movement helps your general wellbeing, but the eye area needs protection from strain and sweat. Pay attention to any discomfort.

- Short, gentle walks are usually safe within a day or two
- Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or high-intensity exercise at first
- Keep sweat away from the eye and dab your forehead gently
- Do not rub the inner corner if it feels itchy or tight
- Stop immediately if pain or throbbing increases

## Building back to normal exercise

More vigorous sport can resume once soreness and redness have largely settled. Taking things slowly reduces the risk of bleeding or reopening the wound.

- Discuss gym work, running, and cycling at your follow-up visit
- Delay contact sports or activities with eye injury risk until cleared
- Increase intensity over several sessions rather than all at once
- Consider protective eyewear if there is a chance of impact
- Seek review if exercise triggers persistent redness or blurred vision
