After suture removal for inner corner eye surgery, patients should pay attention to local wound care and inflammation prevention. It is important to avoid getting the wound wet in the short term to prevent infection, which could affect the cosmetic outcome of the surgery. Additionally, patients should avoid exaggerated facial expressions after suture removal and refrain from strenuous physical activities for a short period of time.
