It is best to use skin care products, facial cleanser, makeup, etc. within a week or two after double eyelid surgery. The stitches are removed about 5-7 days after double eyelid surgery, and the swelling subsides in about a week. If you use facial cleanser before the stitches are removed, it is easy to cause infection at the surgical site because the wound has not completely healed.

Precautions for post-operative care of double eyelids:

1. Do not touch the wound with water or use skin care products within 7 days after surgery.

2. No smoking or drinking within one month, no spicy and irritating food, and try to eat as little seafood, mutton, fish, etc.

3. Pay attention to strengthening eye muscle exercises. Double eyelid surgery generally requires covering the incision for one day. The covering gauze should be removed on the second day after the operation and do eye-opening exercises as soon as possible.

4. Prevent scar hyperplasia at the surgical site: Some people still use anti-wrinkle sunscreen products containing heavy metals such as mercury after double eyelid surgery. These cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals may aggravate the surgery. Proliferation of scars from incisions.

5. After surgery, it is recommended to use an eye mask for maintenance, especially when you are resting, which is a good time for maintenance during the day.

6. Take appropriate rest, avoid strenuous exercise within two weeks, and do not rub your eyes vigorously within one month.
