The main symptoms of double eyelid surgery with inner canthoplasty include eye redness, swelling, pain, and increased eye discharge. These discomforts usually gradually subside within about three days after the surgery. Since the procedure involves trauma to the tissues around the eyes, some adverse reactions may occur temporarily, which is generally considered a normal phenomenon.
