My eyes are relatively small and appear particularly lifeless, so I'm planning to have inner canthoplasty surgery tomorrow. I'd like to know whether I can eat before the procedure.

In general, you can eat before undergoing inner corner eye surgery, as it does not significantly affect the procedure. However, it's best to consume light meals and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent any interference with the surgery. After the surgery, to reduce the risk of infection, proper facial skin care is necessary. The wound area should be kept away from water for a short period to promote better healing.
