Dr. Li Qiang
After undergoing full-incision double eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty, you generally don't need to restrict your diet for about 2 to 4 weeks, although the exact duration depends on your overall recovery. After the surgery, you should avoid consuming scallions, ginger, garlic, and spicy foods. During the postoperative recovery period, it's recommended to eat protein-rich foods such as eggs and tofu.
