In general, eye redness after double eyelid surgery usually resolves within 10 to 15 days, although the exact recovery time varies from person to person. Individuals differ in their healing capacity—those who are younger and in better physical condition typically have faster metabolism and stronger self-repair abilities, which may shorten the recovery period for eye redness to around 10 days. In contrast, older individuals or those with weaker constitutions and underlying medical conditions may require a longer recovery time, possibly up to about 15 days. It is recommended to undergo the procedure at a reputable hospital performed by an experienced doctor to effectively reduce the risk of complications.
