1. How long does the recovery period usually take? First of all, double eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure and does not require hospitalization. You can return home the same day after surgery. The recovery period varies from person to person, but generally speaking, the swelling basically goes down in a week after surgery, although it is certainly not possible to recover completely naturally. It takes at least two weeks to get to the point where you can visit friends and family, and at least three weeks if you want to go out looking good. If your recovery period needs to be shorter, you need to choose a surgery method that best suits your recovery time when you communicate with your doctor before surgery. 2. How to take care of the wound and wash the face and makeup after surgery? The stitches will be removed 7 days after surgery, and you can wash your face and put on makeup after the stitches are removed. Generally, you need to change the medication two to three times after surgery, and the gauze on your eyelids should be replaced on the first day after surgery. Many people will ask, can you see things after surgery, of course you can. This is because the gauze is placed over the eyelid after surgery and does not obscure the vision of the eye. After changing the gauze after surgery it is generally recommended that the gauze be pressed for another 2 days or so. After that, the eyelid line can be exposed without gauze. It is necessary to scrub the blood scabs from the sutures with saline in a timely manner. You can wipe your face with a towel two days after surgery, not absolutely without water. 3. Which eyelid surgery method is the best? There is no “best surgical method” in plastic surgery, there is only “the most suitable surgical method”, otherwise there would only be one type of surgery left now? The choice of surgical method and approach is the most discussed and concerned issue with the surgeon before surgery. If you don’t have your own expectations, you can consult a professional surgeon to choose the most suitable surgical solution for your situation and needs. You can also take some photos of your favorite eye shape and discuss it with your doctor. Of course, everyone’s basic conditions are different, and it is difficult to make western eyes with an oriental face, so you should not be overly ambitious. 4. double eyelid surgery will leave a scar? Even the best plastic surgeon in the world will not guarantee that there will be no scarring at all after the surgery, but only that it will be controlled within an insignificant range. Scarring is a world problem, as long as people, as long as the skin surface of the surgical incision, will produce scarring, just scarring obvious or not, not obvious scarring is not clear if you do not look closely. Many people think they are keloid, but in fact, they are not. A keloid is still a minority of people, and is usually a relatively raised scar somewhere on the body, red, raised above the surface of the skin, and itchy and uncomfortable. Your doctor will tell you if you are a keloid after seeing it. 5. Do ointments for scar removal really work? It has some curative effect. It helps to lighten the scars, but it cannot do the complete removal of scars. In addition, the technique of laser scar removal also has some effect. There are many ways to shorten the recovery period and reduce scars after plastic surgery, you can ask your doctor carefully. 6. Is the best season for surgery summer or winter? The effect of surgery and the speed of recovery are independent of the season. Only in summer, it may cause inconvenience to your life because you cannot take a shower before the incision is healed. It is misleading to think that the surgery is easily inflamed in summer. The surgery is performed under very strict conditions and infection rarely occurs. 7. Can I have surgery during my menstrual period? Surgery is not allowed during menstruation. It is not recommended to do any cosmetic surgery during menstruation. 8. How long should I apply cold compresses after surgery? Usually, 48 hours after surgery is the period of skin swelling. During this period, it is best to use cold compresses to reduce the swelling. After 48-72 hours, the swelling will begin to gradually decrease and can be replaced with hot compresses to promote blood circulation. As to whether it is 48 or 72 hours, it depends on the specific situation of swelling. 9. Can I have eye and nose surgery at the same time? Yes, they can be done at the same time, the swelling can be reduced together and there is no influence on each other’s surgical results.
