The recovery speed after full incision double eyelid surgery varies from person to person, but the period following suture removal is generally considered a new stage of healing.
1. Condition after suture removal: Typically, most people experience wound healing about one week after surgery, at which point sutures can be removed. After suture removal, swelling and bruising gradually subside, and eye discomfort also improves.
2. Recovery timeline: The overall recovery time for full incision double eyelid surgery usually ranges from 3 to 6 months. Although swelling and bruising decrease after suture removal, complete recovery still requires time. Individual differences, postoperative care, and the presence of complications can all influence the recovery speed.
3. Postoperative care: To promote healing, it's important to keep the incision site clean and dry after suture removal to prevent infection. Additionally, follow your doctor’s advice regarding appropriate eye exercises and movements to enhance blood circulation and reduce swelling.
