Introduction
Waxberries are rich in various vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and fiber, which help enhance immunity and promote recovery after surgery. Consuming waxberries in moderation can supplement nutrition and benefit overall health. Waxberries are not spicy or irritating foods and will not irritate wounds after double eyelid surgery, thus they will not affect wound healing.
Generally speaking, it is acceptable to eat waxberries after undergoing double eyelid surgery, but in moderation. Specific details are as follows:
If some time has passed since the eyelid surgery and the wound has healed well without infection or other complications, moderate consumption of waxberries should be fine. Waxberries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help promote skin health and the healing process. However, attention should still be paid to food hygiene, ensuring the freshness of food and avoiding overly sour or astringent waxberries to prevent irritation to the eye area.
Although waxberries are beneficial for postoperative recovery, excessive consumption may stimulate gastric acid secretion, causing discomfort to the stomach. Therefore, they should be consumed in moderation to avoid overeating. Individuals allergic to waxberries should avoid consumption to prevent allergic reactions such as redness, swelling, and itching of the skin.
In addition to moderate waxberry consumption after double eyelid surgery, it is also important to maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy, greasy, raw, or cold foods that may hinder wound healing.
