Disease description:

I've always felt that my eyes are relatively small, so recently I'm considering undergoing double eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty. How long does it take to recover and achieve a natural appearance after full-incision double eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty?

It generally takes about 3 to 6 months to recover from a full-incision double eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty, and the specific recovery time depends on the patient's individual physical condition and postoperative care. If the patient has a faster metabolism, good skin condition, minimal swelling, and follows proper aftercare, recovery may gradually occur within approximately 3 months. However, if postoperative care is neglected or the patient has a slower metabolism, the recovery period may be prolonged, taking about 6 months.
