Stressing my eyes after double eyelid surgery?

Question

Will stressing my eyes after double eyelid surgery cause it to sag, affecting the end result? (decrease my eyelid space)

Hi ~ It is important to follow your surgeons recommendations during the post operative period. In general, we tell patients it is ok to watch TV, read after eyelid surgery.
