There are many experiences and lessons learned from years of oculoplastic surgery that I would like to share with beauty loving girls. One of them is how to look at the recovery process after double eyelid surgery. The swelling of the upper eyelid after eyelid surgery is one of the most important concerns, and my frequent answer to this question is to be patient, as the swelling of the upper eyelid will gradually go down and the eyelid will return to its natural state. However, this answer doesn’t really clear up most people’s concerns, so I’m going to talk about the process in detail here in the hope that it will give you some help. The eyelids are prone to swelling, starting with the eyelid tissue structure. The eyelids are the thinnest part of the human skin and are prone to edema, and the eyelid area is also very lax in tissue, so common colds, local mosquito bites and eyelid trauma can cause significant eyelid edema. Surgery to form double eyelids will definitely cause swelling of the upper eyelid tissue, and the degree of swelling after surgery varies due to the different surgical methods used, differences in the surgeon’s technique, and the individual’s physique, and the eventual time for swelling to subside will also vary. For example, post-operative edema is very obvious after a buried eyelid surgery, but because the surgery is less invasive, the edema lasts for a shorter period of time and the swelling goes down quickly. The opposite is true for a full incision, where the edema is not obvious in the short term due to the removal of part of the upper eyelid tissue, but the post-operative eyelid swelling and incision scarring lasts for a longer period of time due to the large damage to the upper eyelid tissue and the scarring reaction at the incision location.
