Precautions after oculoplastic cosmetic surgery

1, the skin incision from the first day after surgery can be cleaned with a cotton pad dipped in ordinary eye drops (such as chloramphenicol, oxyfloxacin eye drops or eye drops without antibiotics, there are many brands on the market), gently wipe off the secretions on the incision, after which you can apply a thin layer of eye ointment (erythromycin or aureomycin eye ointment) for protection; 2, the initial 2 to 3 days after surgery is the peak of ocular edema, which is the natural reaction of the human body. There is no drug or method to avoid this process, but we can take some measures to make this swelling process go smoothly, one of them is to apply cold compresses locally around the eyes is a very important way. Cold compresses can be applied with ice packs, or towels wrapped in ice, or soft plastic packets of frozen milk or juice, not directly on the eyes, but on the forehead, face, etc. around the eyes. Generally, the swelling will gradually decrease after 3 days after surgery, so do not be afraid of the first few days of swelling, adhere to the correct treatment, and when the swelling passes the effect of surgery will slowly appear. 3, sleep with your head properly padded, so that the edema moves down the face, rather than accumulate in the eye; 4, 1 week after surgery, no strenuous activities, as little as possible eye (including Internet, playing games, reading books and newspapers, watching TV and smart phones), the better rest, the faster recovery; 5, most oculoplastic surgery is clean surgery, post-operative eye swelling is a normal human reaction, not caused by bacterial infection So you can not use antibiotics (commonly known as “anti-inflammatory drugs”) after surgery, and do not just infuse. 6, oculoplastic surgery with local anesthetics can generally last about 2 hours, and surgery time is generally in half an hour to an hour, so a period of time after surgery, local anesthesia is still effective, to be completely anesthesia after the eyes are in the state of bandage, do not touch the incision is not very painful, some people may feel some hidden pain, you can take a small amount of painkillers (such as Sanliday or Fenbid, available at pharmacies 7.The second day after surgery, you can use a wet towel to wipe the face of the incision, just be careful not to get water on the eye incision, you can choose to wash your hair lying down at the barber store; 2 to 3 days after the removal of the stitches (7 to 10 days after surgery if you do not need to remove the stitches) you can wash your face and makeup, but try to choose a mild and non-stimulating face wash and cosmetics; 8.After the removal of the stitches, you can apply {in The scar prevention products that can be applied on the wound are: regular scar prevention medications such as Conrad, Xyrtec, silicone oil gel, etc., or cosmetics with moisturizing function (such as aloe vera gel, the simpler the ingredients, the better). Be careful not to apply {too thick and avoid applying to the eyes. The use time is 1 to 3 months after surgery. 9, diet, do not eat too spicy, too hot food. As for seafood is not an absolute taboo, you can pay attention to observe, if you eat seafood will be swollen eyes, red incision that do not eat, otherwise a small amount of food will not be a problem. In addition, some people often ask whether eating soy sauce will lead to the knife black, can clearly answer you will not, we are yellow, our skin color is determined by genetics, not by the food we eat, just like not because eating black sesame will be black, eat white noodles will become white. In the southwest of China there is also a saying not to eat ginger after surgery, probably because the local dialect calls the scar jiang bei, because it is the same sound as ginger, so it is thought not to eat ginger, these similar sayings can not find a medical basis either in Western medicine or Chinese medicine. I have also heard patients in the clinic say not to eat watermelon, peanuts, milk, onions, vinegar and other condiments, and many other blackmailing statements.
