According to advice from cosmetic doctors, there is no requirement to completely abstain from sexual relations after eyelid surgery.

3. Important notes to know when having sex after eyelid surgery

In addition, pay attention to the post-operative care regimen as this is a factor that affects the healing speed.and the results of eyelids.
4. How to care for eyelids to recover quickly and look beautiful?
Below are some post-operative eyelid care methods you can refer to help shorten the recovery time of the eyelid crease:
- Proper care and hygiene of the eye area: You should use saline solution and clean cotton swabs to gently clean the eyelid area according to your doctor’s instructions. Avoid strong rubbing or using products containing detergents as they may irritate the sensitive skin of the eyelids. In the early days, you can apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising (note to wrap ice in a clean cloth, do not apply directly to the wound).
- Have a scientific diet: You should increase the intake of foods rich in vitamins A, C, E (found in green vegetables, fresh fruits) to promote tissue regeneration and wound healing. It is advisable to avoid foods that may cause keloids or dark scars such as water spinach, beef, seafood, sticky rice, spicy foods, stimulants (alcohol, beer, cigarettes,…) for about the first month after surgery.
