How many days can I get wet after double eyelid surgery?

Eyelids are an organ that each of us has, and they decorate our appearance. Eyelids include single eyelids and monolids. In modern society, most people prefer double eyelids, so some people go for plastic surgery to make their eyelids into double eyelids. There are many taboos and precautions after double eyelid surgery, such as the problem of contact with water. So, how many days after double eyelid surgery can you contact water?

Generally speaking, after surgery we should try to avoid contact between the wound and water to prevent wound infection. We should always keep the wound clean. If we do not keep it clean, it will cause scars later.

Generally, the recovery time of double eyelid surgery is about one week, which means you can wait for a week for the operated area of ​​the eye to heal slowly before you can get some water in your eyes. However, recovery time varies from person to person. However, in order to better promote postoperative recovery, we should also do relevant conditioning matters.

In the early postoperative period, there may be bruises around the eyes, and some may even have cyanosis. Swelling will be obvious within 2 to 3 days, and the swelling will disappear within 5 to 6 days, and the bruises will gradually turn into light yellow. You can use ice packs for cold compresses within 24 hours after the operation, and switch to hot compresses after the stitches are removed to promote the reduction of swelling. Ten days after the operation, the swelling basically disappeared and the double eyelid lines became smooth but not very natural.

After double eyelid surgery, there will be a certain chance of infection due to the existence of the surgical wound. In order to avoid infection, it is best not to let the surgical site get wet within 7 days after the operation, and to ensure that the surgical site is clean to avoid leaving scars due to infection, which will affect the effect of the double eyelid surgery.
