· You may face hyperemia conjunctiva, chemosis, discharge, getting eyes mucus, or blurred vision after the operation. You do not have to worry as it will get better over time. It will take approximately 2 weeks for chemosis to be reduced.

· You may feel irritation, pain, or hard to open your eyes. For those who have ptosis correction, may trouble to close the eye completely in the beginning.

· Please do contact us immediately if you have pain accompanied by heat or getting worse.

· In case of having surgery on your lower eyelid such as lower blepharoplasty, lower eye fat reposition, dual canthoplasty, lowering the lower lid, Angel canthoplasty, or etc., if the lower eyelid does not stop bleeding or becomes puffy or swells all of sudden, contact the clinic immediately.

Swelling, pain, or senses (Individual symptoms may vary)

· There may be a lot of swelling and pain until the 3rd~4th day. Most of the swelling will get better within a week depends on the individual.

· We recommend you to use an ice pack to reduce swelling till the 3rd day, warm pack(not too hot) from the 4th day for 2 weeks.

· There may be a difference in swelling on each side of the face. The shape or line might seem uneven till the swelling subsides completely.

· The incision might be itchy after a week of the operation due to the wound healing process.

· Bruising resolves within around 2~3 weeks or more.

· In case of having a bruise or swelling on the lower eyelid, conjunctival glandular might seem a bit flipped which will get better after 2~3 months unless having any particular symptoms. 

Enhanced recovery post-operation

· Never shed a lot of tears, squeeze the eyes, or rub for a month post-operation.

· You can put on makeup 3~5 days after(not over the incision). We recommend you to put on makeup covering incisions 7~14 days after.

· You can wash your face after the stitches are removed.  It is possible to shower on the same day as the operation. However, make sure that water does not go directly to the incision.

· It is helpful to reduce swelling to use 2~3 soft pillows together when you sleep after the operation.

· Light walking is recommended to encourage healing. Please avoid high-impact activities (such as swimming, gym, climbing), strenuous exercise, sauna, Korean dry sauna which delays the wound healing process. All must be avoided at least for a month.

· You can wear your contact lenses a week post-operation, and a month post-operation for eyelash extensions.

· Smoking and drinking are strictly prohibited for a month after the surgery since they cause infection, and delay wound healing.
