After double eyelid surgery, it is important to keep the wound area clean and avoid exposing it to water in the short term to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or discharge at the wound site, gently wipe it with saline solution or alcohol. Additionally, postoperative exercises for the eye muscles should be strengthened to promote blood circulation in the eye muscles and surrounding tissues, which helps accelerate the absorption of bruising.
