Enhance eye exercises

Due to the double eyelid surgery, local wounds appeared, which affected the blood circulation and caused slowness. At this time, it is recommended that you do more eye-opening and eye-closing exercises one month after double eyelid surgery, because this exercise can promote the activity of the orbicularis oculi muscle, accelerate the circulation of surrounding blood vessels, and thus accelerate the disappearance of hematoma in the eye.

Therefore, it is recommended that you do not lower your head for too long for at least half a month after having your double eyelids done.
