How long it takes to recover from double eyelid and eye opening surgery can be determined by the type of surgery. For double eyelid surgery, if it is minimally invasive or submerged eyelid surgery, the recovery time is relatively short, generally speaking 2-3 months to return to normal due to less damage, smaller incisions, and less swelling after surgery. In the case of full incision double eyelid surgery, because the trauma is greater and the wound is longer and bleeds more, the postoperative recovery is slower and it may take 3-6 months to fully recover. In the case of eye-opening surgery, whether it is done on the inner or outer corner of the eye, the incisions are exposed and the recovery period is poorer and may take 3-6 months. The recovery time after double eyelid and eye opening surgery also needs to be analyzed according to individual’s physique. The young population has a higher success rate and shorter recovery time after surgery due to the thinner skin and better skin elasticity of the upper eyelid. For those with poorer upper eyelid conditions, older age, loose skin, and shorter lid fissures, the recovery time is usually slower. In order to promote the quick recovery of double eyelid and eye opening surgery, keep the wound away from water for 7 days after surgery, and apply medication to promote swelling reduction under the doctor’s supervision to promote the smooth healing of the wound. After surgery, you should pay attention to your diet, eat more light food, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, and eat less stimulating and spicy food.
