It usually takes about 1 to 3 months to recover from an eye corner widening surgery. This procedure typically uses a blade to enlarge the eye fissure and may cause local skin trauma. Noticeable swelling, along with possible pain and discharge, commonly occurs 3 to 5 days after surgery. Swelling generally subsides within about one month. However, if improper postoperative care leads to infection, recovery may take up to approximately three months.
