You don't have to worry about it. According to experts, the swelling after double eyelid surgery is a kind of stress response of body tissues to trauma, which is a normal phenomenon. Any kind of eye plastic surgery will cause trauma to eyelid tissue, but the severity is different, and even if the same double eyelid surgery method is used, the degree of trauma will be different due to the difference of doctors' operating skills and clinical experience, thus affecting the degree of swelling and postoperative recovery time. The details are as follows.

1. Pay attention to prevent inflammation.

Double eyelid surgery's posture also needs attention for the time being. For example, reading with your head down or lying prone will aggravate the swelling, so it is best to lean your head back and sit in a comfortable chair to rest. When you sleep, you should also keep your head high, which will help to reduce swelling as soon as possible.

2. Pay attention to strengthening the movement of eye muscles.

Double eyelid surgery usually needs to cover the incision for one day, and remove the covered gauze on the second day after operation, so as to open eyes as soon as possible. Only by continuously strengthening eye-opening exercise can we promote the blood circulation of eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site and absorb the surgical congestion as soon as possible.

3. Use cold compress and hot compress to reduce swelling

In order to reduce swelling more quickly after double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to cover the wound with small gauze and use ice cubes for cold compress. In this case, cold compress can cool the wound and contract the eyelid blood vessels, thus better preventing capillary bleeding and quickly eliminating postoperative congestion or swelling. Therefore, how to quickly reduce swelling by cutting double eyelids and cold compress can speed up the swelling. However, it should be noted that it only takes about 2 to 3 days to apply cold compress after double eyelid surgery, and then apply hot compress. Hot compress can promote blood circulation and help to reduce swelling.
