The incisional eyelid is the most effective, stable and reliable of the double eyelid procedures. An incision is made in the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and fatty tissue, and then the eyelid skin is fixed to the desired height of the lid to form a heavy eyelid. Although this is a very minor surgery, self-care after eyelid surgery is key to preventing post-operative wound infection and bleeding, and is an important part of the success of the procedure. Reasonable and appropriate post-operative eyelid surgery care can reduce the occurrence of post-operative complications and accelerate wound healing. So, what kind of recovery phase does the post-operative double eyelid go through? How to care for fast recovery? For double eyelid by incision method, the stitches are usually removed in 5-7 days, and the swelling of the incision will continue to decrease in about 1-3 months, but it will take about 3-6 months to fully recover to a very natural state. The principle of surgery to form double eyelids is to artificially form adhesions between the skin and the lid, which will definitely cause swelling of the upper eyelid tissue. Due to the different surgical methods used, the differences in the surgeon’s technical operation and the individual’s physique, the degree of swelling after surgery varies, and the final swelling reduction time will also be different. For example, post-operative edema is very obvious after eyelid surgery, but due to the small trauma of the surgery, the edema lasts for a short period of time and the swelling goes down quickly. The first day after surgery, the doctor will change the medication; 1-2 days after surgery, the candidate will apply a cold compress to the wound to stop the bleeding; 3-5 days after surgery, the candidate will apply a hot compress to the wound to eliminate the hematoma; 5 days after surgery, the doctor will remove the stitches, and after the stitches are removed, the eye can only be rubbed slightly; 1 month after surgery, cosmetics should be used that do not contain lead. Within 1 month after having double eyelids, candidates should try to refrain from putting makeup on the eyelids. If makeup must be applied, use natural cosmetics that do not contain lead, as this will facilitate the healing of the wound. Within six months after surgery, it takes six months for the scar to soften and fade. If you want the scar to be lighter and to recover faster, don’t keep eating hair products such as cigarettes, alcohol and seafood to stimulate the scar growth. For example, if you usually eat 10 meals a month, you should eat 3 meals now. The first thing you need to do is to take care of your eyes. 2, do not rush to take pain relief tablets: the wound will be somewhat painful on the day of surgery, but will gradually reduce with time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-based drugs can aggravate wound bleeding, do not take drugs indiscriminately is a particularly important point of attention in the double eyelid surgery. 3, before the removal of the incision do not get wet: once a day with a sterile cotton swab on the incision erythromycin eye ointment, wear sunglasses when going out to avoid sunlight to stimulate the wound, to prevent scar growth, eye opening patients daily with antibiotic eye drops in the corner of the eye several times, when there is discharge from the corner of the eye, with a sterile cotton swab dip eye drops after gently apply the discharge from the corner of the eye. 4, 5 to 7 days after surgery to remove the stitches: sometimes after the removal of the stitches will be left in the wound a very small thread, with the passage of time, the thread will slowly top out or self-absorption. 5, pay attention to the eye muscle movement: open your eyes as wide as possible, “stare at you what” kind of! (You have to put up with the pain). Only by constantly strengthening the movement of the eyes open wide can the blood circulation of the eye muscles and surrounding tissues be stimulated to reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site and promote the early absorption of surgical bruises. (Note: this method does not apply to special cases, such as double eyelid bleeding)
