I would wait AT LEAST TWO WEEKS following your surgery. But you should discuss this with your surgeon and ultimately follow his/her instructions. Only he/she knows exactly what kind of surgery was performed and what the risk would be.
Generally, I remove all restrictions for my patients by week 3 after surgery. You surgeon, who continues to be directly responsible for your care, may feel differently. Call his or her office and ask them. They will get you an answer.
Once you have healed, of course you can ride again. I wouldn't suggest it for at least several weeks after your surgery.

Afternoon Ivan, No, this activity should not affect your surgery so long as it is been at least 2 to 3 weeks after your procedure. Things you should avoid are swimming goggles, snowboarding goggles, and any other garment or activity that will pull on your upper eyelids. I tell most of my Asian eyelid surgery patients they can return to normal activity within about two weeks. This of course depends on the exact procedure performed and their preoperative issues. It would be best that you discuss this with your surgeon first. Chase Lay, MD

It would be difficult to create an epicanthic fold in someone who does not already have it. I think it would be a mistake to try to accomplish this. It will likely not turn out very good.
Perhaps you have not accurately summarized what your surgeon actually told you. However it is improbable that placing a dissolvable suture will address the triple fold. It is not appropriate to suture the upper eyelid crease to the eye brow, even temporarily. It is accurate...
I do have an experience with a patient who wanted something similar that I took time to inform about the dangers. Do take caution about someone offering you to do this in a hurried manner. Wish you the best in your journey, Dr Leo Kim, Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney
