Patient's question:
A friend had undergone eye cosmetic surgery with double eyelid enhancement. They were unsure whether they should avoid washing their face before removing the stitches, as the wound should not come into contact with water. Since they have oily skin, they wondered if their eyelids would definitely secrete a lot of oil if they didn't wash their face for a week.Doctor's answer:
Before removing the stitches, just avoid getting the wound wet. After the stitches are removed, you can apply some scar-prevention cream to help with healing. The complete recovery period after surgery is 3-6 months. During the recovery period, do not frequently touch or manipulate the wound area, and avoid applying low-quality cosmetics to prevent infection, especially for those with sensitive skin.
