The probability of double eyelid surgery failure is not fixed and is influenced by multiple factors, including surgical technique, individual patient differences, preoperative evaluation, and postoperative care. Usually, when the surgery is performed by experienced plastic surgeons following proper procedures, and the patient follows medical instructions for postoperative care, the likelihood of failure is significantly reduced.

Patients need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, properly care for the wound, keep it clean and dry, and avoid getting it wet or infected. Regarding diet, patients should avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods, as they may affect wound healing. If postoperative care is improperly managed, such as getting the wound wet too early and causing infection, or not getting adequate rest and excessive use of the eyes leading to worsened swelling, these factors may affect the surgical outcome and even result in surgical failure.

It is recommended to choose a reputable medical facility and an experienced surgeon for the procedure and to strictly follow preoperative preparation and postoperative care guidelines to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
