Ten points for attention in canthus surgery

1. Before the operation, make sure that you are healthy and have no body inflammation or other infectious diseases.

2. Stop taking drugs containing aspirin two weeks before operation, so as not to affect postoperative recovery.

3. Open canthus surgery women should avoid menstrual period.

4. Men who have eye surgery should quit smoking one week in advance.

5. Don't put on makeup before the operation.

6. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should have good communication with doctors before operation.

7. After canthus surgery, some friends are sensitive and have pain, but don't rush to take painkillers, because painkillers contain aspirin, which will aggravate wound bleeding. The pain is temporary and will get better in about 2 days.

8. Apply local pressure after operation and apply cold compress with ice packs, but don't force the transition to avoid eye injury.

9. Try to avoid watching too much TV and computer after operation, so as to avoid excessive eye fatigue or low head, which will aggravate the swelling of the wound.

10. After the operation, try to avoid water on the operation site of canthus opening, and try to eat less irritating food.

Dietary precautions:

Be careful of foods containing Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation.

Traditional Chinese medicines such as Angelica sinensis, Carthamus tinctorius and Ligusticum Chuanxiong can accelerate blood circulation, and may bleed again on the wound that has stopped bleeding, or even cause local hematoma, thus prolonging the recovery process. The canthotomy is a delicate operation, and the incision is small, so it may not be able to stop bleeding completely during the operation. Moreover, due to the small incision and small self-drainage flow, it is prone to problems such as oozing blood and subcutaneous hematoma. If you "promote blood circulation" after surgery, it will undoubtedly make things worse.

Don't eat spicy and overheated food.

After eating spicy or overheated food, people will have physiological reactions such as dryness and heat and sweating. Because there are bound to be a certain number of bacteria in sweat, if the sweat glands near the surgical incision secrete a lot of sweat, it will not only be detrimental to wound healing, but also easily lead to local bacterial reproduction and increase the risk of postoperative infection.

Pay attention to seafood, tropical fruits and other foods that are easy to cause allergies.

Crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps in seafood are easy to cause allergies because they contain histamine and other ingredients. Tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple are also easy to cause allergies. When allergic, the skin will be red and rash, and there will be symptoms such as molting and itching. Because plastic surgery is mostly skin surgery, allergies may cause edema at the surgical site, leading to delayed healing of the incision; If you scratch the skin of the surgical site because of skin itching, it may also lead to local infection.

Tips: There are certain risks in surgery. You should choose regular hospitals and experienced doctors, do a good job in postoperative care and pay attention to diet.
