Can I eat pomelo after getting double eyelid surgery?

Dblephidoplasty is a common cosmetic surgery that creates a double eyelid crease through methods such as incision or suturing, achieving the effect of enhancing the appearance of the eyes. It is generally acceptable to eat pomelo after surgery, although consumption should be moderate.

After undergoing double eyelid surgery, patients should avoid consuming spicy, smoked, fried, or other irritating foods, as these may cause wound infection or interfere with healing. Pomelo generally can be consumed, as it is a nutrient-rich fruit containing abundant vitamin C and various minerals beneficial to health. However, if the surface of the fruit contains pesticide residues or is not sufficiently clean, it may lead to infection. Therefore, pomelo should be thoroughly washed before consumption to remove any pesticide residue. Additionally, pomelo is considered a cold-natured fruit, excessive consumption of which may burden the gastrointestinal system, so moderation is advised.

During the first week after surgery, extreme hot or cold foods should be avoided to prevent irritation to the eyes. Regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor wound healing. Adequate rest, sufficient water intake, good sleep quality, and positive emotional well-being also contribute to postoperative recovery.
