Many people’s favorite question before double eyelid surgery is: how long does it take for the swelling to go down after surgery? In fact, there is a swelling period when it comes to surgery, but in real life, some people recover naturally when the stitches are removed in a week, while others have a month, still look very swollen, and variously run to the Internet to consult with many experts in a tangled way and identify themselves as a failure of the surgery. Why are some people not swollen after double eyelid surgery and some are very swollen? If, for example, the swelling doesn’t go down for a month after you have had double eyelid surgery, then you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to see your surgeon. It is possible that the swelling of your eyes is slow or does not go down due to the operation; it is also possible that it is your own problem, so you can only choose the appropriate method to solve the problem of non-swelling after the operation after the interview. Double eyelid surgery does not reduce swelling after one of the reasons: operation 1, most of the single eyelid eyes thick upper eyelid, need to remove part of the muscle, in order to thin the double eyelid under the incision of the tissues, otherwise, no matter how long the recovery time, will appear to be double eyelid appearance of swelling, in fact, has been reduced, it is those who have not been removed from the orbicularis oculi muscle to play a trick; 2, double eyelid surgery must be retained in the orbicularis muscle in the eyelid surface of the thin layer, making the skin does not Otherwise, the skin will proliferate on the hard surface of the eyelid, making it look thicker. Double eyelid surgery does not reduce the swelling of the second reason: their own problems 1, eyelids are particularly thick, even if all the muscles under the skin will be removed, the thickness of the skin itself is difficult to eliminate the surface swelling; (eyelids are very thick monocleid, the postoperative swelling period of this kind of eyes will be a little longer) 2, eyeball bulging, will also appear to double eyelid below the organization of the heavy. These eyes are often accompanied by different degrees of depression of the upper eyelid, the upper part of the depression is more heavy below the thick tissue; 3, personal constitution is different. Some women have a different body type than others and are slower to heal and recover from surgery than others. Of course, the age issue is also very important, young people recover faster after surgery, while older people have a slow metabolism, naturally, the recovery is also a little slow. Warm reminder: after double eyelid surgery, the swelling before removing the stitches is necessary, but strictly follow the doctor’s instructions will make the swelling period shorter: for example, cold compresses within 48 hours; don’t continue to play with the cell phone after the surgery; keep a light diet and pay attention to rest, and so on.
