As the economy continues to develop and people’s aesthetic needs improve, more and more people are undergoing cosmetic eye surgery. However, many people have misunderstandings or even misconceptions about some common problems with this type of surgery, and here are brief answers to each of these questions. 1. How do I choose a blepharoplasty procedure? Regardless of the variety of options and descriptions, there are three basic types of blepharoplasty: the full incision, the small incision, and the buried liner. The advantage of the incision method is that it removes excess skin and fat and creates a firm, long-lasting blepharoplasty that is suitable for most patients, especially those with redundant skin and fat bulges, It is suitable for people who have good skin elasticity and no excess fat, but the downside is that the eyelid can easily fall off or become shallow. Some people call it “polymer eyelids” because of the polymer threads that are commonly used in the submerged method, but the surgical method is no different. The advantage of the small incision method, sometimes called the three-point small incision method, is that only a few tiny incisions are made in the eyelid crease, which causes less damage and allows for the removal of excess fat. Patients who do not want to tolerate the longer recovery time of a full incision and do not want to risk the higher likelihood of a buried lid, can choose to have a small incision. 2. How to choose a blepharoplasty shape Blepharoplasty can be designed in many different shapes, such as parallel, open fan, crescent, round, etc. How to choose the right type of blepharoplasty is based on the patient’s eye shape, eyebrow shape, inner canthus (inner corner of the eye) skin condition, eyebrow-eye distance, arch shape, personal aesthetic and makeup habits, age and occupational characteristics, etc. It is difficult to have a fixed pattern. A careful and thorough surgeon will communicate fully with the patient about these conditions and reach an agreement on the shape of the eyelid to suit individual characteristics. 3. Can’t I eat soy sauce after cosmetic eye surgery? This is a very common question that I encounter in my daily work, but the answer is no. This is because there is no evidence that eating soy sauce can cause or result in wound scar formation after cosmetic eye surgery. As with any food with pigmented components, soy sauce is broken down into simple components once it enters the digestive system and does not cause pigment residue in the body, much less accumulate at the incision, so patients do not have to worry about this at all. 4.How to apply cold and hot compresses after eye aesthetic surgery? The reason is that there will be tiny bleeding and edema in the wound area after surgery, and the ice compress will help to reduce the bleeding and exudative edema after cooling down the blood vessels. This is to facilitate the swelling to subside. 5.Do I need more sleep and rest after cosmetic eye surgery? The answer is no, it is enough to maintain the normal work and rest. After cosmetic eye surgery, especially in the early stages of blepharoplasty, the patient should maintain the normal state of open and closed eye activity in order for the eyelids to fully develop. In addition, after the first two days of postoperative vascular bleeding and exudation, patients should increase their activity to promote blood circulation, which will also help the swelling to subside as soon as possible. 6. How to care for the wound after cosmetic eye surgery After cosmetic eye surgery, the wound should be cleaned every day, especially for exudation and crusting at the incision site, the cleaner the wound, the faster and better the recovery. Eye cosmetic surgery post-operative wound is cleaning the wound, generally with eye drops cleaning is good, it is not recommended to use alcohol and other irritating disinfectants, unless a wound infection has occurred. In addition, it is not recommended to use, or sparingly use, eye ointment to coat the wound, as closing the wound is not conducive to tissue damage healing. Patients should try to go to the surgical hospital to change the medication the day after surgery if it is convenient, since it is easy to observe whether abnormalities occur after surgery and facilitate timely treatment, and secondly, you can learn the skills of cleaning the wound with the doctor or nurse who changes the medication to avoid improper postoperative care. 7, how to use medicine after eye cosmetic surgery Eye cosmetic surgery is clean surgery, post-operative generally do not need to apply anti-inflammatory drugs. However, it is recommended to use the right amount of hemostatic and swelling medication. The medication can be formulated according to the doctor’s personal habits and generally does not differ much. After the removal of stitches, if there is no obvious sign of scar formation, anti-scar medication can be dispensed with, and all can be ideally recovered in the long term. If the scars are obvious, it is recommended to start using anti-scar medication after the stitches are removed. 8, the wound with absorbable sutures or non-absorbable sutures good The answer is not absorbable sutures need to be removed good. Many people take it for granted that absorbable suture scars are light, but the actual situation is just the opposite, because the absorption process of absorbable sutures is often accompanied by tissue reactions, often forming local scar growth or tissue elevation, while non-absorbable sutures can be removed after the basic healing of the wound and have no significant impact on the wound. At present, absorbable sutures are mainly used for children who do not cooperate with suture removal, and rarely for adults.
