Dr. Li Qiang
It generally takes about 15 to 30 days for ectropion after lower eyelid surgery to recover, although the exact recovery time may vary depending on individual skin conditions in the treated area. During the recovery period, attention should be paid to diet; avoid hard-to-digest and spicy foods. Instead, consume protein-rich foods such as lean meat, fish, and eggs.
