Hello, canthotomy is a very delicate operation, so the operation time will be longer, usually about one or two hours, and the stitches will be removed five days after operation. Generally, the swelling of the eyes is completely relieved in about 7- 10 days, and basically returns to nature in 1 month, and fully recovers in 3-6 months.

Guiding opinions:

It is suggested that you should pay attention to reducing eye movement after opening the corner of your eye. Need to rest for about a week, go to the hospital for local cleaning (using normal saline) according to the doctor's instructions, avoid rubbing your eyes hard, and remove the stitches about 5 days after opening the corner of your eye. In the recovery period after operation, spicy diet should be avoided or reduced to better ensure the effect of opening eyes, and eyes should not be wet for seven days. Don't get dirty things on your eyes. Even if you want to clean them, don't use ordinary water. It is best to wash with sterile water. But also control the consumption of food and avoid eating some spicy food.
