Dbl eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure that primarily creates a natural crease on the eyelid to form double eyelids. The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, takes a relatively short amount of time, and has a relatively quick recovery period. If the wound shows severe infection symptoms such as pus discharge or swelling, intravenous (IV) antibiotics may be required to prevent impaired wound healing.
In such cases, the main purpose of IV therapy is to replenish body fluids, prevent dehydration, and simultaneously provide necessary nutrients and medications to help alleviate postoperative discomfort and promote wound healing. If a doctor recommends IV therapy after double eyelid surgery, it is typically for the patient's health and recovery. In such cases, you should follow the doctor's advice, complete the treatment on schedule, and also ensure adequate rest and nutrition, avoiding strenuous activity and excessive fatigue to promote wound healing.
In addition, maintaining a positive mindset and attitude is also very important to accelerate the recovery process. If you experience any discomfort or have questions, you should communicate with your doctor promptly to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
