1. Don't apply disinfectant after operation.
About three days after the operation, the doctor will change the dressing of the incision once, mainly to check the recovery of the incision, whether there is infection, and not really give any medicine to the incision. After removing the gauze, if there is blood scab on the incision, the doctor will usually wipe the incision with normal saline instead of drugs such as iodophor.
Try not to get wet for a week.
As everyone knows, the wound can't be wet with water. But strictly speaking, the incision of medical cosmetic surgery can be wetted with water, because in about 3 days, the doctor will open the gauze to check the wound, and then the epidermis has healed, and the doctor will also wipe the wound with normal saline. Therefore, the incision can be slightly moistened with water after three days, and it can be extended to seven days if you are not at ease.
Therefore, when we wash our face or take a bath, we don't have to worry too much if we accidentally wet the incision. Just dry it with clean gauze.
3. Strict sun protection
The epidermis of the newly healed incision is very delicate, and it is easy to pigmentation after ultraviolet irradiation. Therefore, you must protect yourself from the sun for half a year after surgery. You can use clothes to block out the sun, or you can apply sunscreen.
Step 4 Use stretch-reducing accessories
Tension is the main cause of scar hyperplasia. Remember to use tension reducer or seamless tape half a year after operation to prevent scar hyperplasia and expansion.
Step 5 press with elastic clothes
Pressing the incision is also a good way to prevent scar hyperplasia. There are many flexible packaging products to choose from.
6. Drugs that inhibit scar hyperplasia can be used.
If the incision is sutured, drugs to inhibit scar hyperplasia can be used after suture removal. At present, there are many kinds of drugs to inhibit scars on the market, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One is silica gel products, which are the most common drugs to inhibit scars. The main component is silica gel without biological drugs, which inhibits scar hyperplasia by creating a closed environment. The other contains pharmaceutical ingredients. Scar suppression drugs should be used continuously for at least half a year, and the two can be used together at the same time.
While reducing scar formation, we should also pay attention to one thing, that is, don't let scars form pigmentation. Many beauty seekers report that the color of the incision becomes darker after healing, and I don't know why. In fact, this is the production of pigmentation, how can we avoid it?
1. Wait for the scab skin of the wound to fall off by itself.
After injury, blood and tissue fluid will ooze from the wound surface and combine with necrotic cells to form scab skin, which will irritate the skin and cause itching. If you can't help peeling off the scab skin at this time, it will lead to an increase in the incidence of scar pigmentation.
Avoid the sun
The newly grown skin on the wound is tender, the stratum corneum is thin, and the sunscreen effect is poor; Ultraviolet rays in the sun will enhance the activity of melanin in the skin and dilate local capillaries, so try to avoid the possibility of forming scars and spots.
3. Keep local wounds clean
Keep the wound clean, avoid scratching, pinching and scratching with your hands, and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor to prevent inflammation from spreading to the deep.
