May I ask, after undergoing full incision double eyelid surgery, if there is still tenderness when pressing on the eyelid three days post-operation, does this indicate inflammation?

Full incision double eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at creating a crease in the eyelid by removing excess skin and fat. The recovery period after surgery varies from person to person, but swelling, bruising, and mild pain in the surgical area during the first few days to weeks after the procedure are normal physiological reactions.

If the patient feels tenderness upon pressing the eyelid, this may indicate a risk of infection, especially when accompanied by symptoms such as redness, increased discharge, or fever.

Regarding the patient's current condition, it is first recommended to observe whether there are obvious signs of inflammation such as redness, discharge, or erythema around the eyes. If only mild tenderness is present without other discomfort, it may be a normal post-surgical reaction and there is generally no need for excessive concern. At this time, maintaining cleanliness of the wound and avoiding friction and infection are important. Anti-inflammatory medications may be used for prevention and treatment as directed by a physician.

If the tenderness persists or worsens, or if it is accompanied by symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, or discharge, it may indicate wound infection or surgical complications, in which case prompt medical evaluation is necessary.
