Eye bag removal is one of the important elements of facial rejuvenation, and post-operative wound care is important to protect the wound and promote healing, which is an important guarantee of good surgical results. Eye bag incision is divided into internal and external incision, internal incision is made from the eyelid conjunctiva, external incision is made from the eyelid skin, postoperative care has both common points, each also has characteristics. The common point of wound care for internal and external eye bags is that the first day after surgery, the wound area is covered with gauze, the surface can be iced, and the gauze can be removed on the second day, after which the surgical site is kept clean and protected from water, it is best not to wash your face for a week after surgery, do not put makeup on your face, and apply antibiotic ointment to protect the wound area. Wear sunglasses to protect your face from the sun when you are outdoors. For internal eye bag incision in the mucous membrane of eyelid, you should apply eye ointment inside the eye 3-4 times a day, you can also apply eye drops 3-4 times a day, and apply antibiotic ointment for protection before going to bed. The mucosal incision is easy to heal and can be done with or without suture incision, without suture incision there is no need to remove the stitches, if there are stitches then the stitches will be removed in about a week. For external eye bags, the incision is made on the lower lid skin. Antibiotic ointment is applied to the skin incision 3-4 times daily to protect the incision and keep it moist, and foam antibiotic ointment is also applied before going to bed. If the incision heals well, the sutures are usually removed about a week after surgery. Young people who are healing well can have their sutures removed earlier, while older people who are healing less well can have their sutures removed longer, depending on the individual. Wound healing after surgery is a process, and only reasonable care to promote wound healing can achieve the ideal post-surgical results.
