Whether or not inverted eyelash surgery will leave a scar is related to the surgical procedure, if there is a skin incision, it will usually leave a scar.
There are different surgical methods for inverted eyelash surgery, such as direct removal, incision and removal, as well as freezing and laser destruction of the hair follicle, etc. After these methods, the wounds are very small, and usually do not leave obvious scars. However, if the patient’s inverted eyelashes are obvious and the patient needs to undergo lid entropion correction, a scar will form in the skin incision, but it is usually not obvious.
Infection may occur after the operation, and generally some antibacterial drugs such as cefradine are needed after the operation to better prevent the symptoms of infection. If the wound becomes infected, the wound scar can be more obvious after recovery. After surgery, patients should develop good living habits, eat a light diet and pay attention to wound hygiene.
It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions for care after impingement surgery, regular checkups, and timely consultation when discomfort occurs.
