How long does it take to recover from double eyelid surgery? What are the precautions?

A beautiful appearance is what everyone desires, especially for women, having a pair of beautiful eyes is the biggest sign of their charm. The main forms of eyes are single eyelids and double eyelids. Among them, double eyelids are more beautiful. Therefore, many people with single eyelids use surgery to change their single eyelids. But how long does it take to recover from double eyelids?

It takes 1-3 months for double eyelid surgery to recover. The swelling at the incision line will gradually subside, and after 3-6 months, the scar will no longer be obvious.

1. You need to wear glasses for one week after double eyelid surgery

You need to wear light-blocking glasses for one week after double eyelid surgery, because the eyes that have just undergone double eyelid surgery are very sensitive. At this time, the eyes will shed tears when exposed to the stimulation of sunlight or wind and sand. Tears in the eyes will aggravate the swelling of the double eyelid area. Therefore, after double eyelid surgery, you should take measures to protect yourself from the sun and wind.

2. Hot compress is required after double eyelid surgery

48 hours after the double eyelid surgery, you need to apply hot compress 1 to 2 times a day. Hot compress can promote local blood circulation and is a good way to reduce swelling. However, when applying hot compress, you must be careful not to let the double eyelids come into contact with water, otherwise it will not only fail to reduce the swelling, but will also cause swelling in the double eyelid area.

3. Drink less water before going to bed after double eyelid surgery

One week after the double eyelid surgery, pay attention to reducing the amount of water you drink before going to bed and do not drink too much water. Drinking water before going to bed can easily cause eye swelling the next day. After a full eyelid surgery, the already swollen eyelids will only be aggravated by drinking a lot of water before going to bed.
