About eye surgery, these are probably your top 10 concerns

I really want to have double eyelid surgery, but I am afraid, does it hurt during the surgery? Are there any after-effects and will it affect my eyesight? Everyone who undergoes the surgery will have the same fears and concerns as you. In fact, double eyelid surgery and eye bag surgery, there is only a little pain when the anesthetic injection is given, but in less than a minute, the anesthetic will take effect, and there is no pain during the surgery. And each surgery may have complications, but with experienced surgeons operating, they can usually be avoided. As both eyelid and eye bag surgery are extra-ocular surgery, they do not hurt the eye and will not affect the vision. Second, I want to have eye bag surgery, I don’t know how many days I have to rest before I can go to work and how long the wound is not obvious? Eye bag surgery or double eyelid surgery, generally only need to rest 3-5 days on the line, because the second day after surgery swelling is heavy, will cause eye fatigue, so as little as possible to use the eyes, but after the third day there will be improvement, you can see things normally, work, at this time, although not remove the stitches, but no longer affect the work. And the wound will not be obvious in about ten days. Third, I have double eyelid in one eye and single eyelid in the other eye, can I do only one? Usually, both eyes should be done together. If you insist on doing one eye and the other eye has good double eyelids, then you can make the single eyelid into double eyelids according to the opposite eye, but there is always a slight difference between the artificial and natural ones. Fourth, I want to do a pair of European-style double eyelids, do you think it’s okay? What kind of double eyelid is European style? Not all people are suitable for European-style double eyelids. The characteristics of European eyes are high eyebrow arches, deep eye sockets, the upper eyelids return to the eye sockets when the eyes are open, forming a deep and large heavy lid, and the eyelashes are very close to the eyebrows when the eyes are open. Oriental people have swollen eyelids, more fat, far distance between eyebrows and eyelashes, low and flat eyebrow arches and shallow eye sockets, making European-style eyes unnatural. A small number of patients with deep eye sockets and close eyebrow distance can be made into European-style eyes. 5. You can see that after my eyelid surgery, my lower eyelid is also green and yellow. This happens from time to time during eye surgery and we call it bruising. It is mainly due to bleeding within the tissues during or after surgery, and the blood spreads under the periorbital skin along the looser periocular tissues. Over time, the skin changes from bruised to yellow and eventually returns to a skin tone. This process usually takes 7-10 days and eventually fades away without leaving a trace. VI. Can eye surgery injure the eye and cause blindness? Eye surgery is a delicate surgery, as long as the regular plastic surgeon operation, generally will not hurt the eye to affect vision. Seven, I want to do eye surgery, before the surgery, what should I do to prepare? Before the operation routine examination, physical health, blood pressure, blood sugar is normal, two weeks before the operation stop using drugs containing aspirin, stop using VitE, contraceptives, blood-boosting Chinese medicine, quit smoking for two weeks, menstruation period is not suitable for surgery. Of course, it is also necessary to arrange the daily life in the days after the surgery. VIII. Before eye surgery, is it necessary to wrap the whole eye and need someone’s help to walk? For double eyelid surgery, you only need to wrap the wound with a small piece of gauze, and you can open your eyes completely to see things; similarly, for eye bag surgery, you only need to cover the wound with a small piece of gauze, which does not affect your vision and walking. Nine, more than two months ago, I did double eyelid surgery, both sides look obviously different, I want to change a change, okay? Eye surgery has a swelling recovery period, the length of which varies from person to person, and the wound also needs a period of time to recover, generally it takes more than 6 months for the scar to soften, at which time the second revision surgery will not affect the result due to excessive bleeding. Moreover, after more than 6 months of recovery from one surgery, the asymmetry will improve and there may be no need for further surgery. Therefore, please be patient and wait for a few more months for regular checkups before determining whether you need a second surgery. 10. My original double eyelids were very nice, but over the past few years they have become more and more droopy on the outside. I am very anxious, can I recover the original shape through surgery? Are the scars visible after surgery? This is a condition of aging. As we age, the first signs of aging appear on the eyelids, with the skin loosening at the outer corners of the eyes, distorting the original eyelids and causing them to lose their former appearance. In most cases, depending on whether your eyebrows are also sagging, your doctor will decide whether to perform an upper eyelid debridement or brow cut to remove the loose skin and essentially restore the original shape of your eyes.
