Leshan Jingwei Plastic Surgery Hospital:

Dear, in this case, I suggest you go to your institution and consult your surgeon. Your situation is quite special!

Many people actually don't know that the reason why people with double eyelids look more energetic than those with single eyelids is that when the eyes with single eyelids look straight, only the eye gap between the upper and lower eyelids is exposed, while when the eyebrows are relaxed and the interference of eyebrows is deducted, more than 80% of the single eyelids may be only 7 to 9㎜.

So, what problems do you need to pay attention to after cutting double eyelids? Authoritative experts pointed out that postoperative care is very important to achieve perfect surgical results:

1. Keep it clean on the first day after operation, press it within 24 hours after operation to prevent infection, and press it half an hour after operation to prevent bleeding from increasing. If the wound is not clean and causes wound infection, it will lead to scar formation. Be careful that the wound can't get wet with water. The gauze was removed 24 hours after operation. If the wound has scab and secretion, it can be cleaned with sterile saline or alcohol.

2, the next day if the surgical wound bleeding, congestion hematoma, is due to postoperative compression hemostasis is not completely caused. At this time, local ice packs can be cold-compressed, but the pressure should not be too great to avoid damaging the eyes. Sterile gauze strips can be placed under ice sandbags to prevent infection. Secretions in the corner of the eye can be cleaned with sterile cotton swabs, not salt water.

3. On the third day, the wound has begun to heal, and it is necessary to continue to apply ice to make the wound congested and swollen. Cultivate your eyes and keep the indoor temperature stable. Eat more fruits and vegetables, stay in bed, raise your pillow and avoid excessive use of your eyes. Don't eat spicy food such as ginger and garlic.

On the fourth day, the wound has basically healed, leaving only some blood scabs. Don't clean it at this time to avoid leaving scars when you handle it yourself. The doctor will take care of it after the stitches are removed. From this day on, you can apply hot compress to dissipate blood stasis, and the hot compress temperature should not be too high. Still insist on taking antibiotics.

5. On the fifth day, the stitches can be removed. Go to the hospital doctor to have the stitches removed. After cleaning the wound, I will apply erythromycin ointment to you. After the stitches are removed, photos will be taken for the record, and antibiotics will be ordered to be taken, and eggs and fruits will be cleaned. The above is double eyelid surgery's daily care before taking out stitches. Ice and hot compress are essential for recovery. Also, you don't need to handle the wound yourself. When you go to the hospital, the doctor will clean it carefully to avoid leaving scars. Patients can simply take antibiotics or use intravenous drip to reduce inflammation. Hot compress should continue until the eyes return to normal, and eyelid scars can be massaged 2 weeks after operation, which can reduce the formation of scars and help the softening of scars to recover as soon as possible.
