Hello, In most cases, double eyelid surgery is not painful, as local anesthesia is administered prior to the procedure. Mild discomfort may occur after surgery, but it is generally not severe and is tolerable for most individuals. We recommend taking pain relievers as needed postoperatively. Proper wound care is essential. Additionally, maintain a light diet following surgery and avoid spicy or irritating foods. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
