How long after eye corner surgery can you go out?
Disease description:
I had surgery at the hospital to correct my eye corners and create double eyelids. I would like to know how soon I can go out after the procedure—how long should I wait before going out after eye corner correction surgery?

You can usually go out about one week after undergoing an eye corner opening procedure. Both eye corner opening and double eyelid surgery are common procedures that cause minimal skin damage. Most people can resume normal outdoor activities within 7 to 10 days without affecting wound healing. After the surgery, there may be local swelling, which will gradually subside. During this period, it's important to minimize eye use, get plenty of rest, and avoid overusing your eyes to prevent eye congestion and inflammation.
