There is a good saying, we must think twice before operating the knife, because our body is influenced by our parents, so it is still very important in eye plastic surgery. You should know some basic preparations before operation and some precautions after operation.

Introduction to surgery 1. Common eye cosmetic surgery includes double eyelid, eyelid entropion, eyelid ectropion, eyelid drooping, eyelid deformity correction, eyelid and eye frame edge laceration repair and eyelid and eye frame edge tumor resection. ? 2. According to age or disease, local anesthesia or general anesthesia can be used for operation. ? Preparation before operation 1. If the patient has fever, hyperglycemia, hypertension or abnormal heart, liver, lung, kidney and function, it must be corrected before accepting the operation. If you need to take anticoagulant drugs (such as aspirin, etc. ) due to illness on weekdays, it must be stopped one week before operation after being evaluated by a doctor to prevent bleeding during operation. 2. Preoperative assessment and diagnosis of dry eye. ? 3. Diet: The local anesthesiologist eats three meals as usual, and the general anesthesiologist fasted for 8 hours before operation. But you should avoid drinking alcohol or taking sedatives. 3. The clothes should be light and comfortable on the day of operation, and no makeup should be put on the face, especially around the eyes. You can prepare and carry sunglasses after the operation. Please inform the doctor in advance if you have any special diseases or drug allergies. Description after operation 1 Your surgical wound will be slightly painful a few hours after operation, so you can take the painkiller prepared by the doctor as soon as you get home. If the surgical wound continues to feel uncomfortable, please take painkillers orally every four to six hours. ? 2. Immediately after the operation, ice should be applied to the affected eye around the surgical wound, and ice should be applied four to six times a day for ten to fifteen minutes for the first three days after the operation, so as to reduce the swelling and pain and bleeding. ? You can live and work normally the next day after operation. ? 4. The surgical wound is unstable for one to two weeks after operation. Keep the wound dry and avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming and washing for three times. Sterile cotton fiber can be used to clean the outer eyelid and remove the secretion from the inner corner of the eye. ? 5. Starting from the third day after operation, it is advisable to apply hot compress six to eight times a day for 20 minutes each time, which can promote wound healing, reduce edema and help scar disappear. Depending on the type of operation and the size of the wound, hot compress can last for one to three months. ? 6. Postoperative eyelid edema may affect the self-closing of eyelids and aggravate the eye discomfort of patients with dry eye. In order to avoid damage caused by prolonged corneal exposure, artificial tears and ointment should be used in coordination with the doctor's advice. ? 7. Use antibiotic ointment and eye drops locally according to the doctor's advice to prevent infection. ? 8. When the wound returns to normal, the suture on the surgical wound will be removed in the outpatient clinic one week after operation. ? 9. The recovery of appearance, due to the difference of physical speed, is not natural in the first one to two months after operation, which is a normal phenomenon. When the edema and scar of the wound subside, the expected result of the operation will gradually appear, so don't worry. ? 10. Follow the doctor's advice and continue the outpatient reexamination, so as to track the surgical wound, appearance and eyelid function recovery.
