Will the eyes be more swollen on the second day after thread embedding double eyelid surgery than on the first day?

In general, swelling around the eyes after suture-based double eyelid surgery may appear more noticeable on the second day than on the first. This is mainly due to tissue trauma caused during the procedure, leading to localized edema and inflammatory response.

The third to fifth days after suture-based double eyelid surgery represent the peak period for swelling. Therefore, increased swelling on the second day is a normal phenomenon. Within the first 48 hours after surgery, cold compresses can be applied. Cold compresses help constrict capillaries and reduce both swelling and pain. Apply for 5–10 minutes per session, 3–4 times daily. After 48 hours, switch to warm compresses. Warm compresses promote blood circulation and accelerate the resolution of swelling. Use a warm towel or heating pad for about 30 minutes per session, 3–4 times daily.
