Can I eat eggs after getting double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery patients can usually eat eggs, but should do so in moderation.

Eggs are an important source of high-quality protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, which help in the repair and regeneration of body tissues. Additionally, eggs are rich in vitamins A, D, E, and the B-complex, as well as minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, and iron. These nutrients have positive effects on skin health and immune system function. Vitamins A and E are especially beneficial for the growth and repair of skin cells, while selenium has antioxidant properties that help reduce inflammatory responses.

It should be noted that although eggs are beneficial for recovery, they should not be consumed in excess, as excessive protein intake may place additional strain on the liver and kidneys. Furthermore, after surgery, one should avoid consuming spicy, irritating, or allergenic foods that may interfere with wound healing. Patients can consume eggs in moderation after double eyelid surgery, but should maintain a balanced diet and avoid excessive protein intake and other unhealthy foods.

In the early postoperative period, patients may experience reduced appetite due to local swelling and discomfort. In such cases, it is advisable to encourage small, gentle meals and avoid spicy, excessively hot, or hard foods that may irritate the surgical area.
