The suture removal time after double eyelid surgery is generally around 7 to 15 days. After suture removal, it's essential to properly care for the eyes. Avoid wearing eye makeup for a short period and do not let the skin around the eyes come into contact with water, as this may lead to infection or inflammation. In severe cases, it could even result in scar hypertrophy. Additionally, dietary adjustments are necessary—avoid spicy and irritating foods such as hot pot, barbecue, and spicy hot pot dishes.
