What is the recovery process of opening the corner of the eye?
Generally, canthotomy can reduce swelling in about 7- 10 days, and basically return to nature in about 1 month. The specific recovery time of open canthus is related to many factors, and the surgical method is the decisive factor for the recovery time of open canthus.

Opening the inner canthus is to change the direction of the inner canthus fold through surgery, and the size of the incision is very important. According to the doctor's level, there are minimally invasive and other types of surgery. The outer corner of the eye can extend the horizontal direction of the eye, and the operation is simpler than that of the inner corner of the eye, so the recovery time is faster and the corner of the eye can be opened seamlessly the fastest.

The operation of opening the corner of the eye is complicated, and it takes about 1 hour to open the corner of the eye. The operation required suture, and the stitches were removed five days later. After one week, the swelling gradually decreased. After stitches are removed, the corners of eyes will be red, which is normal. According to individual physical differences, in some cases, red eye can fade quickly, and some may be late, generally speaking, it will not last long.

Secondly, the recovery time of canthus is also related to personal physique and postoperative care. If it is properly conditioned, the recovery time will naturally be shortened accordingly, but if it is not adhered to, it will cause other unnecessary troubles and affect the recovery time of canthotomy. Therefore, excessive use of eyes should be avoided in the short term after canthotomy, and eye inflammation should also be prevented.
