Let’s take a look at it next.

1. How long should I avoid certain foods after double eyelid surgery?

It usually takes more than a month to fully recover after double eyelid surgery. During this period, it is best to avoid eating spicy or cold foods, and try not to eat seafood or other irritating foods.

2. Precautions for double eyelid surgery

1. Take oral antibiotics for 5 to 7 days after surgery.

2. The stitches will be removed 5 to 7 days after the operation (the day of the operation is not included, and the simulated double eyelids do not require stitches to be removed).

3. Preoperative Preparation

1. Surgical design: Use methylene blue or gentian violet to mark the incision line. Very young patients with tight upper eyelid skin generally do not require skin excision, but most patients will require a strip of skin excision, especially older patients with loose skin.

2. Measurement method: Ask the patient to take a seat, lift the eyelids with ophthalmic tweezers or U-shaped wire at the middle and inner 1/3 and the middle and outer 1/3 of the upper eyelid to form the double eyelid line, and let the skin above the fold hang in front of the tweezers or wire. Make a mark on the hanging skin at the level of the fold; generally draw the second line 2 mm below the marked line and parallel to the first incision line; then clamp the skin between the two marked lines, so that the eyelashes are slightly curled up. Repeat this test to accurately determine the amount of upper eyelid skin that needs to be removed between the two lines.
