How to quickly reduce the swelling after double eyelid surgery? I believe that many people who have had double eyelid surgery will be concerned about this issue, if the post-operative care is not appropriate, it will affect the swelling time and post-operative results. The first thing you need to do is to keep the wound clean after the double eyelid surgery to prevent infection and to facilitate the recovery of the wound. It is recommended to make an appointment with the surgeon to clean the surgical wound on the first, third and fifth day after surgery, especially after canthoplasty, so that the blood scabs and secretions at the corners of the eyes are cleaned in time. 2. After surgery, use an ice pack for cold compresses and a towel for hot compresses Just after surgery, it is best to cover the surgical site with a small gauze, wrap the ice with a plastic bag or plastic bubble wrap and gently place it on top of the eye, while preventing the ice from melting and leaking out and entering the surgical site and causing a bacterial infection. The cooling will cause the blood vessels in the eyelids to constrict, preventing capillary bleeding and preventing post-operative bruising or swelling. At the same time, the cold temperature will diminish sensation and diminish the little pain that may occur after waking up from the anesthesia. Cold compresses are only needed for about 2-3 days after surgery, after which hot compresses are applied. Hot compresses will help blood circulation and help the swelling of the eyelid surgery go down quickly. Pay attention to the temperature of the hot compress not to burn the skin. The methods of hot compresses are: 01, you can use a wet towel heated in the microwave oven and wrapped in cling film 02, you can use a hot towel wrapped in cling film 03, you can peel a boiled egg and roll it on the more swollen parts 3, pay attention to the method of rest The rest after double eyelid surgery is required, pay attention to the head pillow high. It is best to tilt your head and sit on a comfortable chair to rest; sleep with a high head pillow as well, which will help to reduce swelling as soon as possible. Sleeping with a pillow that is too low can also lead to edema of the face and eyes. Most edema after surgery is due to congestion. However, if the pillow is padded high it can properly reduce the blood reflux in the head and face. 4, pay attention to the resting environment To make double eyelid surgery quickly reduce swelling, there should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate after surgery, at the same time, the indoor air should be fresh and circulating and maintain a certain temperature. 5.Take anti-inflammatory drugs and vitamins according to the doctor’s prescription after the surgery. Generally take anti-inflammatory drugs for 3-5 days after the surgery, please take them according to the doctor’s prescription, and also take some multivitamins, which will help you recover. 6, pay attention to a light diet Do not often drink water and eat foods with high sodium content (hot pot, ginseng, wolfberry and other supplements), avoid tobacco, alcohol, chili and other stimulating foods. 7, do not engage in strenuous exercise, but open the eyelids more to promote blood flow back After surgery, you can do more upward eye opening action, two fingers pressed eyebrows, without the force of the forehead to open the eyes, you can feel the position of the eyelids after surgery folded up, do this action more, can promote the recovery of double eyelid surgery. Avoid strenuous sports such as playing ball, swimming, etc. before removing the stitches. 8.Contact lenses should be worn 2~3 weeks after surgery Please choose the time to wear contact lenses according to the doctor’s medical advice, it is generally recommended to wear them at least two days after the removal of the stitches. 9.
