The thread-embedded method involves burying the thread under the skin, which is less traumatic to the tissues and can be recovered once the edema improves, and the recovery time is usually about one month. Antibiotics such as erythromycin ophthalmic ointment and gentamycin ophthalmic ointment can be applied under doctor’s supervision to prevent bacteria and inflammation reaction to prevent wound infection. It usually takes about 3 months after the total excision method, and the longest time is usually not more than 6 months, then it can return to natural.
