To speed up swelling reduction after full incision double eyelid surgery, apply cold compresses locally within the first 24 hours post-operation to help constrict capillaries. After 48 hours, switch to warm compresses to promote subcutaneous blood circulation and thereby accelerate the resolution of swelling. Additionally, under a doctor's guidance, antibiotic medications such as cefixime or amoxicillin may be taken to aid in reducing swelling.
