There are 3 main reasons for this: 1) Removal of part of the upper eyelid skin, which is common in total eyelid surgery, where a pike shaped upper eyelid skin will be removed, after removing the skin, the upper eyelid will have a lower degree of retraction, that is, its elasticity will become smaller, so it will produce an upward tugging force, and the patient may feel tightness when opening the eyes. 2) Removal of part of the fat, which is common in total eyelid surgery, and it is possible to remove some supraorbital fat. Remove part of the supraorbital fat, in the process of recovery, there may be adhesion, adhesion will also produce a pulling force on the upper eyelid, the patient will feel tight. 3, suture is too tight, too dense, there may be in the process of suture suture is too tight, too dense, resulting in a certain sense of tightness, this situation will be much better after removing the suture.
