Dual Eyelid Surgery Post-Operative Considerations

Compressing the eyes: Local cold compresses with ice packs within 48 hours after surgery, especially within 24 hours after surgery, can effectively prevent postoperative edema and also relieve pain. After removing the stitches, localized hot compresses can be used to promote blood circulation around the eyes. Remember not to wet the wound with water. (Homemade ice pack method: buy bags of milk the day before surgery in the refrigerator freezer frozen). Do not lie flat when sleeping, and sleep with a raised pillow. After surgery, you can take 1 tablet of MaiZhiLing orally 2/day, which can relieve eyelid edema after surgery. Do open and close your eyes and look upward more often after surgery. Go to the hospital on the next day to change the medicine and have the surgeon to follow up with you.
