It's been 4 days since I had full-incision double eyelid surgery, but the area around my eyes looks slightly yellowish. What should I do?

On the fourth day after full-incision double eyelid surgery, yellowish discoloration around the eyes is typically caused by blood pigments remaining in the superficial skin layers after partial absorption of blood oozing from traumatized tissue. Special treatment is usually not required. Applying a warm towel compress locally can help improve circulation and accelerate the absorption and breakdown of the pigments.
