Precautions before double eyelid surgery:
1, first of all, fully communicate with the doctor before operation about the postoperative effect.
2. The doctor should check whether it meets the requirements of the operation. Middle-aged and elderly patients need to measure blood pressure and electrocardiogram when necessary. If there is slight abnormality, they should take medication before the operation.
3, general examination, various tests, pay special attention to bleeding tendency, avoid menstrual period. This is a very important point in the notice of double eyelid cutting, which can never be ignored.
4, 7- 10 days before surgery, two weeks before surgery, smoking and alcohol should be banned, and oral aspirin or cold medicines containing aspirin and Chinese patent medicines with blood circulation function should be avoided.
5, if there is conjunctivitis, blepharitis, severe trachoma must be cured before surgery.
6. Prepare sunglasses (to cover the scar) and ice packs (to compress the wound after operation) before operation.
7. Don't put on makeup before the operation.
8. Patients with a history of bleeding tendency should check platelets and clotting time.
Matters needing attention after double eyelid surgery:
1, postoperative pressure dressing: gauze strips will be put on the upper eyelid after operation, and the doctor will ask you to press for half an hour before leaving, in order to prevent bleeding. Come to the hospital the next day after surgery and remove the gauze from your eyes. Don't remove it yourself, because the blood and gauze in the incision often stick together, and forced tearing will tear the eye wound.
2. Precautions for cutting double eyelids also include not wetting the incision with water before removing stitches after operation, and applying erythromycin eye ointment to the incision with sterile cotton swabs once a day. Wear sunglasses when you go out to avoid sunlight to stimulate the wound and prevent scar hyperplasia. Patients with wide eyes should use antibiotic eye drops several times a day at the corner of their eyes. When there are eye drops, gently wipe them off with a sterile cotton swab.
There will be some pain in the wound on the day of operation, but it will gradually decrease with the passage of time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin drugs will aggravate wound bleeding, so it is particularly important to avoid taking drugs indiscriminately.
4. Patients with double eyelid incision should have their stitches 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.
5. Pay attention to strengthen the movement of eye muscles during the recovery period. 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.
6. During the recovery period, there should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate, and the indoor air should be fresh and circulated to maintain a certain temperature. Precautions for cutting double eyelids in diet include increasing protein's intake and eating more fruits and fresh vegetables.
