How long does epicanthus correction take to recover?

The patient usually needs 1-3 months to recover after epicanthus correction.

epicanthus correction is a surgical method to correct eye deformity by removing hyperplastic epicanthus tissue. The patient can initially heal within one week after surgery. If the physical fitness is good and the follow-up care is proper, the patient can recover completely in about one month. However, if the physical fitness is poor or the daily care is improper, the wound healing is slow, and it usually takes about 3 months to recover.

The patient should appropriately reduce the eye use time during the postoperative recovery period and keep the affected area clean and dry, which is helpful to accelerate wound healing.
