March to June and September to December are relatively suitable seasons for double eyelid surgery.
The optimal months for double eyelid surgery are generally recommended to be during spring and autumn, as the temperature during these seasons is relatively moderate, making postoperative infections less likely and facilitating faster wound recovery. Specifically, March to June and September to December are considered more suitable periods. However, with improved living conditions, seasonal impacts on daily life have lessened. Therefore, if you are unavailable during spring and autumn, summer and winter can also be perfectly acceptable choices.
When selecting a time for surgery, it is important to communicate thoroughly with your doctor to develop the optimal surgical plan based on your individual circumstances. In addition to choosing an appropriate month for the procedure, postoperative care is also crucial. Patients should keep the wound clean and dry, avoiding contact with water to prevent infection. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, focusing on light, nutritious, and easily digestible foods while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
