The result of the surgery highly depends on post-operative care, especially after eyelid surgeries.
It is not allowed to rub, touch or press the surgery site until major swelling goes down. You can put on eye make-up or wear lenses in 2~3 weeks after the stitches are taken. You must wait until your eyes return to their natural look.
Any types of eyesight correction surgeries can be conducted after 5~6 months. When done earlier, it can disturb the healing process of double eyelids.
In addition, it is necessary to avoid a hot bath, sauna, and strenuous physical exercises for one month.
Depending on how eyelids heal, you can start applying an ointment that reduces post-operative scarring.
