The exact recovery time for double eyelid surgery depends on the type of surgery chosen and the individual’s physical condition, and it takes about three months to achieve complete stabilization, and even more than six months for patients with complications. The main types of double eyelid surgery are incision, threading or minimally invasive small incision three-point method, etc. The first type of double eyelid surgery is more traumatic due to the larger incision range and the manipulation of the eyelid fat and even eyelid muscles, and the recovery from postoperative swelling takes longer, and there is still oedema even three months after the surgery, and it may take about six months to achieve complete repair and oedema. In comparison, the buried thread method and the small incision three-point method require higher fat thickness of the patient’s eyelids, but the incision is smaller and less traumatic, so the recovery time is shorter, excluding infections and other circumstances, generally two weeks to four weeks to return to normal. However, if the patient develops eye infections and other complications, the recovery time will be longer. It is recommended that patients following double eyelid surgery follow the doctor’s instructions for care, have regular checkups, and see a doctor when discomfort occurs.
