Is there anything I should avoid eating after eyelid surgery?

Excellent question.Before surgery certain medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, etc) and herbal supplements should be avoided, your surgeon will typically discuss these with you and/or provide a list of item not to consume. Some of these should not be taken for a period of time (as determined by your surgeon) after the surgery as well.Additionally, consuming a low sodium diet is also helpful to reduce swelling, even weeks after the surgery. I typically recommend that my patients consume 1500 mg (or less) of sodium per day.I hope this helps.

You can eat whatever you want after surgery. It will not affect your scar pigmentation. However would certainly recommend a healthy diet to promote maximal healing.

It is safe to eat ong choy. It will not impair wound healing, worsen scars, or cause discoloration of the scar. Enjoy and bon-a-petit.- Dr. Bryson Richards
