Double eyelid surgery 15 days recovery process

Double eyelid surgery methods are divided into three types of methods: buried wire, small incision and full incision. The recovery process varies from one surgical method to another. The buried wire method of surgery is relatively less traumatic and has a relatively quick recovery without the need to remove stitches. Swelling and pain will occur after surgery, but will continue to improve with time. To prevent excessive swelling of the eyes, ice can be applied 1-2 times a day for 30-60 minutes for the first three days, do not apply hot compresses for 72 hours after surgery, and it is best to avoid strenuous exercise for one month, and generally most people can reduce the swelling in about 1-2 weeks. For small incision and total incision, the stitches are usually removed about 7 days after surgery, and it takes about 3 months to completely reduce the swelling to its natural state. Good post-operative care measures also help in the recovery of double eyelids. For example, anti-scar ointment can be used from the day after stitches are removed and applied for 3 months continuously to prevent scar growth. Do not touch the wound area with household water before the removal of the stitches to prevent infection and other conditions from occurring, and shower after the removal of the stitches. During this period, you should not press or rub the eye with your hands to avoid delaying the recovery time of the wound. In addition, it is beneficial to maintain a tilted head posture, take more rest, and minimize eye fatigue after surgery to promote recovery.
