2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform the doctor of their condition at the time of initial diagnosis, so that the attending doctor can confirm the operation plan.
3. Make sure you are healthy before the operation, and there is no infectious disease or other body inflammation.
4. Don't put on makeup before the operation.
5. Women should avoid menstrual period. Self-care after double eyelid plastic surgery (also known as double eyelid surgery) is the key to prevent postoperative wound infection and bleeding, and it is also an important part of double eyelid surgery's success. Reasonable and proper self-care can reduce postoperative complications and accelerate wound healing. Postoperative care can start from the following aspects:
Keep the wound clean to prevent infection. It is important to clean the wound after double eyelid surgery. If the wound is not clean, it is easy to be infected, leading to the formation of wound scars. So be careful not to wet the wound when washing your face after operation. 65438+ 0 ~ 2 days after operation, the dressing on the eye can be removed. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, it can be wiped with sterile saline or medical alcohol.
Prevention and treatment of bleeding, congestion or hematoma in surgical wounds. If the small blood vessels are injured or the bleeding is not completely stopped during the operation, the eyes will be impacted by the outside world after the operation, and strenuous exercise or emotional change will cause bleeding, congestion or hematoma. In order to prevent the occurrence of the above complications, local wounds can be bandaged with pressure or cold compress with ice packs, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid eye damage. Once there is bleeding and severe hematoma after operation, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time.
There should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate after operation. When resting in bed, it is best to lie semi-supine (raising the pillow) to avoid excessive eye fatigue or lowering the head, which will aggravate the swelling of the wound.
There will be some pain in the wound on the day of operation, but it will gradually decrease with time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin drugs will aggravate wound bleeding.
After double eyelid incision, stitches were removed 5 ~ 7 days after operation. Sometimes the wound will leave a tiny thread after stitches are removed, which will be pushed out slowly or absorbed by itself over time.
Sclerosis of suture after double eyelid embedding is common in the following two situations: 2 ~ 3 days after operation, the suture is obviously red and swollen. This situation suggests that infection is more likely, so it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible, open the drainage in time and remove the suture, otherwise the infection will be difficult to control. At the same time, local, oral or intramuscular injection of antibiotics. If the skin around the eye of the needle is red and slightly indurated. This is a normal reaction and does not require special treatment; Another situation is that there is always induration on the skin at the suture site 1 week or longer after operation, which is mostly caused by incomplete suture embedding, which stimulates the skin tissue to produce chronic inflammatory reaction. Treatment can be local physical therapy, topical triamcinolone acetonide ointment and hot compress. Generally, it can be absorbed by itself without leaving sequelae. If the effect is not good, you can consider taking out stitches.
In addition to these details, some people will use some anti-wrinkle sunscreen products containing heavy metals such as mercury after their stay in double eyelid surgery. These cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals may have an impact on the surgical incision. So three to six months after operation is a special period. During this period, cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals shall not be used. First, pay attention to strengthening the movement of eye muscles.
Double eyelid surgery usually needs to cover the incision for one day, and then take off the covered gauze the next day after the operation, so as to open his eyes as soon as possible. Only by continuously strengthening the eye opening movement can we promote the blood circulation of eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site and promote the early absorption of surgical congestion. Second, prevent scar hyperplasia at the surgical site.
Some people still use some anti-wrinkle sunscreen products containing heavy metals such as mercury after double eyelid surgery. These cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals may aggravate the scar hyperplasia of surgical incision, and the situation will be even worse if they are people with scar constitution. Therefore, within three to six months after operation, it is the proliferative period of surgical scars. During this period, cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals shall not be used.
Third, pay attention to the moisturizing and softening of eyelid tissue.
Many people's surgical incisions have completely returned to normal, but the surgical site still feels nervous and dull, and others look awkward. In fact, this phenomenon is normal after surgery. As long as the local moisturizing and softening are done well, the tension will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, after double eyelid surgery's incision is completely healed, you can use some skin care cosmetics made by regular manufacturers that moisturize and soften tissues and contain no heavy metals.
Fourth, there should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate after operation.
Indoor air should be fresh and circulated, and maintain a certain temperature. Increase protein's intake in diet, and eat more fruits and fresh vegetables. Don't watch TV or newspaper after operation 1 week, and it is best to lie on your back (raise your pillow) in bed to avoid eye fatigue or head down to aggravate the swelling of the wound.
