Can I eat beef after undergoing canthoplasty (eye corner surgery)?
My friend recently had eye corner surgery, and I want to visit her. I'm wondering if bringing some beef would have any negative impact on her recovery?

Generally speaking, eye corner opening, also known as epicanthoplasty, allows for moderate consumption of beef after the procedure.
Epicanthoplasty is a common cosmetic surgery aimed at making the eyes appear larger and more vibrant by removing excess skin from the inner corner of the eye or adjusting the eyelid structure. This surgery typically requires a certain recovery period, during which proper dietary management can help promote wound healing and prevent infection. Beef contains abundant protein, which is beneficial for bodily recovery and wound healing. Additionally, beef is rich in iron, which helps prevent anemia that may occur after surgery. Therefore, beef consumption is permissible following epicanthoplasty.
Patients undergoing epicanthoplasty are advised to avoid consuming spicy, irritating foods, seafood, and other allergenic foods that may trigger allergic reactions after surgery. Furthermore, maintaining a light diet and consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement essential vitamins and minerals is recommended. If allergic to beef, it is advised not to consume it.
It is also recommended to maintain a balanced intake of various foods and avoid excessive consumption of any single type to maintain overall health.
