In general, full-incision double eyelid surgery involves removing excess skin and fat tissue from the eyelids through a surgical procedure, then fixing the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to create a double eyelid. The typical reference price for full-incision double eyelid surgery is 8,000–12,000 RMB per session. Improvement is usually visible within 1–2 weeks after surgery, although complications such as infection may occur. After suture removal, proper care includes avoiding excessive eye use, maintaining a balanced diet, avoiding strenuous exercise, keeping the wound clean and dry, and using medications as directed. Specific recommendations are as follows:
1. Avoid excessive eye use
After suture removal, avoid prolonged use of electronic devices such as smartphones and televisions. Reduce overall screen time and allow sufficient rest for the eyes to promote blood circulation and wound healing.
2. Maintain a balanced diet
After suture removal, maintain a well-balanced diet. Consume foods rich in protein and vitamin C, such as milk, lean meat, and strawberries, to support wound healing. At the same time, avoid overly spicy or irritating foods that may irritate the surgical site.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise
During the recovery period after suture removal, avoid intense physical activities or any actions that could lead to eye injury, to prevent unnecessary damage to the wound.
4. Keep the wound clean and dry
After suture removal, keep the wound clean and dry, and avoid contact with water. When washing the face, gently wipe with wet wipes, but avoid directly rinsing the wound with water to prevent infection.
5. Use medications as prescribed
Strictly follow medical instructions when applying antibiotic eye ointments or other anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the risk of wound infection and promote healing.
If needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and follow the guidance of qualified medical professionals to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the procedure. After surgery, maintain a healthy diet, avoid strenuous exercise, and keep the wound clean and dry to support optimal recovery.
