What you must know before having eyelid surgery!

1. Is eyelid surgery a simple procedure that any doctor can do well? Double eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is one of the most common procedures in plastic and cosmetic surgery. Although it is a common surgery, it not only requires the surgeon to have excellent skills, good aesthetics and rich surgical experience, but also needs to make accurate psychological exegesis of the patient, and these very small details are related to the success of the surgery. 2, everyone is suitable for double eyelid? Generally speaking, as long as the aesthetics want to have double eyelids can do, but want to have suitable for their own double eyelids or there are a lot of instructions. We recommend that people with the following conditions should not opt for the surgery. Well-formed single eyelids (generally thin), protruding eyeballs or strabismus, severe drooping of the upper eyelid, fat, thick eyelids and other cases. Because these eye shapes made double eyelid effect will not be perfect, only to be able to change the status quo appropriately. 3.What kind of eye shape is suitable for double eyelid surgery? People with slightly loose or swollen eyelids are more suitable, and the main way is to remove excess fat and skin to achieve the effect of reshaping. According to the elasticity and laxity of the upper eyelid skin, it is divided into 3 types: (1) Positive force type: no laxity of the upper eyelid skin, good elasticity, subcutaneous fat filling moderate, mostly seen in young people; (2) Powerless type: laxity of the upper eyelid skin, elasticity is poor, subcutaneous fat is sparse, seen in the middle-aged and old people; (3) Super force type: the eyelid skin is tense and glossy, the subcutaneous fat is overfilled, is a state of swelling, commonly called “swollen eyes”, “bubble eyes”. Generally speaking, if the body does not have important internal organs disease, mental normal, born with single eyelid and actively request for double eyelid, can do double eyelid surgery. People with long eyelid, thin eyelid skin and high nose bridge have good results. 4. What are the shapes of double eyelids? Double eyelids in terms of shape can be simply divided into: parallel shape, open fan shape, European style, non-double and become double, and so on. Depending on the shape of the face and features, the width of the double eyelid needs to be designed and adjusted. 5.How to judge the success of double eyelid surgery? After full recovery (usually 3-6 months), the width of double eyelids is moderate, both sides are basically symmetrical, there is no obvious scar and the shape is natural and good-looking; there is no complication and after-effects. 6.How to speed up the recovery after surgery? The speed of recovery is related to individual’s physique, when the body is not in good condition, the surgery will be slow, but it is also closely related to the operation of the doctor. If the appearance of the eyelid surgery is not natural six months after the surgery, it is a sign that there is a problem with the surgery. The amount of muscle removed during surgery, the extent of the peeling surface, the choice of suture points, and the protection of tissues during surgery all affect recovery and results, so choosing a good surgeon is the key to surgery. Often people ask me after surgery if there is a way to recover fast, I still say there is no way. 7. What are the contraindications of double eyelid surgery? First of all, the shape is too wide, too false, double eyelid is too wide, easy to damage the levator muscle caused by traumatic eyelid, the result is wide eyelid instead of open big, open eyes laborious. Secondly, the double eyelid line is too long, more than the normal position will be sagging, look old. These two situations for the future repair have a certain degree of difficulty. 8.Can the failed double eyelid still be repaired? Failed double eyelid repair is very complicated, everyone’s situation is different, need to have rich clinical experience of doctors, most of them can be changed. You should choose your surgeon carefully, as each repair leaves much less room for the surgeon to work on it, and it may not even be possible to fix it later. A word of caution: repair surgery should not be rushed, at least half a year after the surgery, when the scar has softened before considering repair surgery. Otherwise, it will stimulate the scar to increase hyperplasia, and it will be counterproductive to rush. How long does it take to remove the stitches after double eyelid surgery? The best time is 5-7 days. 10.What is the most important thing in the preparation for surgery? The most important and difficult part of all plastic surgery is choosing a surgeon. Don’t believe in advertisements and propaganda, see for yourself, consult a lot, inspect diligently, and it’s best to ask more people who have done the surgery. Look at before and after surgery comparison photos is also a very important method of investigation, from the comparison photos can see the level of the doctor, pay attention to look at his own photo data, other people’s data can not. Some advertising materials, the patient’s surgical effect is exciting, but the postoperative photo of the person is after careful make-up retouching photographed, which not only violates the principle of medical photography, but also gives people the impression of dishonesty and deception, reducing the credibility. 11.Post-operative precautions? (1) Keep the wound clean and prevent infection. It is very important to keep the wound clean after double eyelid cutting, if the wound is not clean, it is easy to get infected and lead to the formation of wound scars. So be careful not to wet the wound when you wash your face after surgery. You can take off the dressing on your eyes 1 to 2 days after surgery, and if there is any blood crust or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline or mild and non-irritating antiseptic solution. (2) Be careful not to exercise strenuously during the swelling period after double eyelid cutting. (3) You can’t rub your eyes hard, but you should do more movements of opening and closing your eyes, and pay attention to keep the eye tension after double eyelid cutting. (4) After double eyelid cutting, pay attention to keep the posture of tilting the head as much as possible in the study and work, watch less TV and surf the internet, and pay attention to the rest of the eyes. (5) After the operation, there should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate, the indoor air should be fresh and circulate and maintain a certain temperature, increase the intake of protein in the diet, eat more fruits and fresh vegetables, avoid spicy and stimulating food, and do not eat seafood, eggs and other foods.
