But surgery is not all, the correct post-operative care is very important, the right method can quickly reduce swelling, avoid some small trouble, so that the surgery to achieve maximum beautiful effect. Once again, we will summarize our personal experience and share it with you to create beauty.  1, the inner surface of the wrapped gauze is sterile, can not be touched by hand, the day of surgery can not be removed. If the wound is found to be oozing blood again also need to continue to compress for a few minutes. Do not drink a lot of water that night and sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated to prevent high eyelid swelling the next day.  2. After compression, the wound will usually not bleed and you can leave the hospital.  The wound will be wrapped with gauze immediately after surgery. Please follow the technique demonstrated by the surgeon to apply repeated vertical pressure to the eyelid wound, i.e., 1 minute of pressure, 10 seconds of rest, and a 20-minute cycle to stop bleeding. The easiest way to keep ice on the wound for 3 days after surgery is to buy two bags of milk and put them in the refrigerator to freeze alternately.  4. The wrapped gauze should be removed only the morning after surgery, and the eyelid wound should not be touched with water for 7 days after surgery. The wound should be wiped with alcohol cotton balls every day for 7 days to clean the wound, and the cotton balls should be squeezed dry to avoid alcohol penetration into the wound or the eye, which can cause irritation. For the wound can also be soaked in eye drops (such as chloramphenicol eye solution) cotton swabs wipe.  5. 3 days to 2 weeks after surgery, please force your eyes to do more opening movements, which will help to reduce swelling and create a natural heavy eyelid shape. However, if you keep your eyes open, the width of your eyelids will become smaller.  6. Please do not apply cold compresses or hot compresses to the local wound after surgery to avoid wound contamination, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods in your diet. Anti-inflammatory and decongestant drugs alone can be taken orally as appropriate, such as Yunnan Baiyao.  7.For 7 days after surgery, please maintain a normal routine and do not over-sleep to reduce eye swelling.  8.Usually the eyelids can touch water after 7 days after surgery, i.e. touch water when washing the face or taking a bath.  9. To prevent scarring of the wound skin, scar removal creams such as “Kang Rui Bao” can be used about 1 month after surgery, but we have not done clinical observation of such drugs, so we are not sure about their efficacy.  10. Please do not rub your eyes with your hands for 3 months after surgery to prevent local skin scar tissue growth. Wait until a week after the stitches are removed before using anti-scar medication.
