I just had eyelid surgery about 2weeks ago.my mom and friends told me not to eat ong Choy(the green veggie in the picture),beef n soy sauce (we're Chinese Vietnamese).they believe that when you have surgeries or open cuts you should not eat those things because they will make the scars turn really dark. And eatting ong choy will grow extra skin,makes the scars become bumpy. Is that true??
