It has been a week since I had the sutured double eyelid surgery, and sometimes it hurts a little.
I had a buried suture double eyelid surgery, and one week later my eyes sometimes feel painful. There are no other obvious discomfort symptoms at the wound site. Is this normal?
It is normal to occasionally experience mild pain during the first week after undergoing a sutured double eyelid surgery. The recovery period varies from person to person, but typically during the first few days to a week after surgery, mild swelling, bruising, and pain may occur. These symptoms will gradually subside over time. However, if the pain is severe or persistent, or accompanied by other abnormal symptoms such as signs of infection, you should contact your doctor immediately for an evaluation.
Pain symptoms can be relieved through cold or warm compresses. Cold compresses can help constrict local capillaries, reducing pain and swelling; warm compresses can promote local blood circulation, which is beneficial for symptom improvement. Regarding diet, patients should increase their intake of protein, such as milk and eggs, to help promote wound healing. At the same time, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided to prevent irritation of the wound and delay recovery.
