After full-incision double eyelid surgery, sexual activity should be avoided for about two weeks. Sexual activity will not impair wound healing or worsen swelling. It is important to keep the surgical site clean after surgery to prevent infection. Poor wound hygiene may lead to infection and possibly scarring. If there is blood crust or discharge, you may gently wipe it with sterile saline solution or medical alcohol. Do not take painkillers casually.
