Question
A friend had double eyelid eye cosmetic surgery and is unsure whether they can wash their face before the stitches are removed, as the wound should not get wet. They have oily skin and not washing their face for a week would definitely lead to a lot of oil secretion on the eyelids.
Answer
As long as the wound does not come into contact with water before the stitches are removed, you can apply some scar prevention ointment after the stitches are removed to aid in recovery. The complete recovery period after surgery is 3-6 months. During this recovery period, avoid frequently touching the wound with your hands and do not apply any low-quality cosmetics to prevent infection in sensitive skin.
