1. After double eyelid surgery, you can apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack for cold compress, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the eyes.

2. After the operation, ensure that the eyelid surgical site is clean to prevent infection. Try to avoid getting the surgical site wet within 7 days. If there are blood scabs or secretions on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline.

3. After the operation, you should rest in a quiet and comfortable environment and take a semi-recumbent position (raise the pillow) when resting in bed to avoid excessive eye fatigue or low head position which may aggravate wound swelling.
