Do you know how long it takes to open the inner corner of the eye to remove stitches?
To correct microphthalmia, the medial canthus and lateral canthus must be enlarged, and if necessary, the medial canthus ligament should be fixed to correct the widening of orbital distance, or ptosis should be corrected to make your eyes bigger. However, because opening the corner of the eye is an operation after all, it takes some time to recover, so that the stitches can be removed and the best effect can be achieved. So how long can it take out stitches after opening the inner corner of the eye? Please invite Professor Zhang Chen, the authoritative expert of Xinhua Plastic Surgery in Dalian Plastic Surgery Hospital, to give you a detailed introduction. Professor Zhang Chen said that the operation of opening the inner canthus is also the correction of epicanthus, which refers to a vertical fold in front of the inner canthus. Covers the corner of the eye, making it smaller than people without epicanthus, and at the same time blocking part of the field of vision, so that people with double eyelids can only form "half pairs", which affects the beauty of the eyes. How long does it take to open the inner corner of the eye to remove stitches? Professor Zhang Chen said: To solve this problem, it depends on what kind of surgery you choose. At present, there are "V-Y" suture method, "Z" molding method and four-flap method for opening inner canthus, and the recovery time of different methods is different. The former is suitable for mild epicanthus, while the latter is suitable for all kinds of epicanthus. At present, the most widely used operation to open the inner canthus is the improved lateral correction of epicanthus, which has good effect and no obvious trace after operation. It is an ideal operation. Oral antibiotics were given for 3 days after operation. Change the dressing on the second day after operation and strengthen the upper eyelid activity according to the doctor's advice. The stitches were removed 5~7 days after operation. How long does it take to open the inner corner of the eye to remove stitches? Usually, the swelling is completely relieved in about 7- 10 days after operation, and basically returns to nature in one month, and then slowly recovers completely. Only a few people recover for a long time, up to a year. Through the introduction of the above authoritative experts, I believe everyone has a clearer understanding of this issue. However, Xinhua plastic surgery experts at Dalian Plastic Surgery Hospital reminded us that we must go to a professional and formal plastic surgery hospital. For example, Xinhua Plastic Surgery is a public tertiary regular plastic surgery hospital, and its specialty is trustworthy.
