After undergoing double eyelid surgery, scar gel may be prescribed to aid in the recovery process and minimize scarring.  But when should you start applying scar gel, and how long should you continue? It's generally recommended to wait until one week after the stitches have been removed before applying scar gel. Applying it too early may cause discomfort or a tingling sensation at the surgical site. As for how long to use scar gel, it typically ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on individual recovery speeds.

Paying attention to your diet after plastic surgery is crucial for facilitating a smooth post-operative recovery. Here's a guide on what foods to include and avoid during this period: It is advisable to avoid salty and spicy foods since these can cause facial bloating, hindering the debloating process and slowing down recovery due to their high sodium content. Following plastic surgery, it's important to consume foods that help reduce swelling. Incorporate plenty of pumpkin juice, seaweed, and kelp into your diet. These foods aid in reducing swelling by improving oxygen supply within the blood vessels. In addition to adjusting your diet, incorporating light activities such as walking can further aid in speeding up recovery.
