★ Right after surgery (day of surgery to day 2)

After the surgery, there are sutures at the incision site below the eyelashes, and skin-colored tape is applied under the eyes to protect the skin.

When going बाहर, wearing a light hat or glasses can naturally cover it.

However, due to the eye ointment applied to the incision site, the taped area may feel slightly shiny or oily.
