Introduction
In general, patients can consume eggs in moderation after double eyelid surgery. If the patient has no history of egg allergy and the surgical wound is healing well without infection or other complications, eating eggs in moderation may help promote recovery. However, it should be noted that if the patient is allergic to eggs or if there is inflammation or infection at the surgical site, egg consumption should be avoided.

In general, it is acceptable to consume eggs in moderation after double eyelid surgery. The detailed explanation is as follows:

If the patient has no history of egg allergy, and the surgical wound is healing well without infection or other complications, eating eggs in moderation is usually safe. Patients need sufficient nutrition to support recovery and wound healing. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, which helps promote wound healing and boost immunity, thus benefiting the recovery process. Therefore, moderate consumption of eggs after double eyelid surgery can aid in recovery. However, if the patient is allergic to eggs or other egg-containing foods, eggs should be avoided entirely. Additionally, if there is inflammation or infection at the surgical site, egg consumption should be avoided to reduce local swelling and facilitate resolution of the inflammation.

It is recommended to get adequate rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and maintain a balanced diet to promote wound healing.
