Can I drink alcohol after undergoing full-incision double eyelid surgery?

Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to consume alcohol after undergoing full-incision double eyelid surgery. Full-incision double eyelid surgery is an invasive procedure, and after the operation, the upper eyelid area will be sutured and may be accompanied by increased secretions and bleeding. Alcohol is a stimulant that can accelerate blood circulation and dilate blood vessels, which may exacerbate swelling and congestion in the eyelid area, hindering wound healing and recovery. Alcohol can also impair immune system function, slow down the healing process, and potentially interfere with the body's absorption of vitamins and minerals, further affecting wound healing.

Full-incision double eyelid surgery typically requires 1 to 3 months for complete recovery. During the recovery period, alcohol consumption and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided to prevent interference with wound healing. It is important to maintain local hygiene at the wound site, avoid contact with water, and prevent infection. Adequate rest should be taken postoperatively, and excessive eye use and strenuous physical activity should be avoided to facilitate recovery. However, individual recovery conditions and physical constitutions vary, so the specific recovery time and precautions may differ from person to person. If you wish to consume alcohol, you should first consult your surgeon to ensure your body has fully recovered and that alcohol consumption will not negatively affect your health.
