After getting full-incision double eyelid surgery, I've been staying at home with my eyes closed for recovery. However, a friend said this method is incorrect. Will keeping my eyes closed affect the healing process after full-incision double eyelid surgery?

Full incision double eyelid surgery generally does not affect eye closure. If patients consistently practice eye-closing exercises daily, it can help prevent postoperative adhesions and significantly aid in recovery. Additionally, patients should maintain healthy eye habits after surgery, avoid eye strain, and keep the eyelids well moisturized, all of which contribute positively to the healing process.
