Can I ride a roller coaster after getting double eyelid surgery?
Generally, double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty, and it is usually not recommended to ride roller coasters after undergoing this procedure. The typical reference price for blepharoplasty ranges from 8,000 to 30,000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is generally observed 1 to 3 months after surgery. A detailed explanation is as follows:
Blepharoplasty usually includes two types: full-incision double eyelid surgery and suture technique. After surgery, swelling, pain, or bruising around the eyes may occur. Roller coasters are thrilling amusement rides that create intense feelings of weightlessness and impact through high-speed rotation and swinging. Riding a roller coaster shortly after blepharoplasty may subject the eye area to additional pressure and irritation, thereby worsening symptoms such as swelling, pain, or bruising. Furthermore, riding roller coasters may cause the wound to reopen or become infected, prolonging the healing time and potentially leaving scars. Therefore, it is not recommended to ride roller coasters after undergoing blepharoplasty.
It is advisable to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods that may interfere with wound healing. Additionally, sufficient sleep and rest are necessary to promote wound recovery and overall physical healing.
