Dr. Li Qiang
After double eyelid surgery, proper care of the eyelid area typically involves paying attention to one's diet. It is advised to avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods. Within the first 48 hours after surgery, ice packs should be applied to the eye area to constrict local capillaries and help reduce swelling. During the recovery period, the surgical site should remain dry for approximately one week.
