You can drink soy milk after double eyelid surgery.
Double eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at creating a double eyelid by altering the structure of the eyelid. Soy milk, a nutrient-rich beverage, contains abundant plant protein and various vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial for postoperative recovery. Consuming soy milk in moderation provides necessary nutrients that can help promote wound healing. However, if you are personally allergic to soy products or experience indigestion, you should avoid drinking soy milk during the recovery period.
In addition to soy milk, the postoperative diet after double eyelid surgery should be light and nutritionally balanced. It is advisable to consume protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and milk, as well as fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins. At the same time, you should avoid eating spicy, irritating foods, seafood, and raw or cold foods, as these may irritate the wound and affect recovery. Proper postoperative care is also essential, such as keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding infection, and following medical advice for regular follow-up appointments.
