Introduction

Generally, if the trauma from the double eyelid incision surgery is minor and recovery is relatively fast, eyelash transplantation can usually be performed 4–6 weeks after the procedure. However, if the double eyelid surgery caused significant trauma and recovery is slower, a longer waiting period may be required before proceeding, until full recovery is achieved. To ensure surgical safety, it is recommended to choose a reputable plastic surgery hospital for the procedure.

Generally, double eyelid surgery refers to the double eyelid incision procedure, which typically costs between 3,000 and 8,000 yuan per session, with noticeable improvement usually seen within 1–2 weeks. Eyelash planting refers to eyelash transplantation, which generally costs between 3,000 and 8,000 yuan per session, with visible results often apparent within 1–2 days. The timing of eyelash transplantation after double eyelid incision surgery depends on the individual's recovery. If surgical trauma is minimal and recovery is fast, the procedure can usually be performed 4–6 weeks after surgery. However, if the trauma is significant and recovery is slower, eyelash transplantation may need to be delayed. Specific details are as follows:

If the incision wound from the double eyelid surgery is small and there are no complications such as infection, swelling, or inflammation in the local or surrounding tissues, the recovery period may be relatively short. In such cases, eyelash transplantation can generally be performed under a doctor’s guidance 4–6 weeks after surgery. Performing the procedure at this time reduces the risk of infection or poor wound healing and supports better postoperative recovery.

If the surgical trauma from the double eyelid procedure is extensive and the wound has not fully healed within a short period, especially if there are clear signs of infection, swelling, or congestion in the local or surrounding tissues, the eyelash transplantation should be postponed. The procedure should only be considered after the area has completely returned to normal.

It is recommended to choose a reputable plastic surgery hospital and undergo the procedures under the guidance of qualified medical professionals to ensure safety. After surgery, maintain good local hygiene, keep the area dry, and avoid contact with cold water too early.

Is it attractive for males to have fully incised double eyelids?

In general, a full-incision double eyelid procedure involves making an incision on the upper eyelid, removing excess skin and fat, and then attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at a specific height to create a double eyelid crease. Whether a full-incision double eyelid looks good for males depends on individual facial features and whether the surgical design aligns with male aesthetic characteristics. There is no absolute answer, but overall, the key is to achieve a natural and harmonious appearance.
