After undergoing surgery to open the outer corners of the eyes, as long as you maintain good eye hygiene and adjust your diet, the issue of retraction will not occur. For example, it is essential to keep the skin around the eyes clean and hygienic after surgery. Avoid getting the eye area wet in the short term, and refrain from applying eye creams containing chemical ingredients. Additionally, dietary adjustments are necessary—avoid spicy, stimulating, or raw/cold foods.
