What should I do if the wound swells up soon after the operation?
1, you can take some medicine to reduce swelling before operation.

For example, the most common detumescence drug "detumescence enzyme" on the market is a herbal medicine imported from Japan, and the effect is very good. You can eat it once before operation, so that it won't swell badly.

2. Immediately after getting off the operating table, press the operation site with your palm.

Operating area pressurization is the most effective method to stop bleeding and reduce swelling. For example, if you have double eyelids or bags under your eyes, you can ask a doctor for two clean gauze, gently apply it to your eyes, and then hold your eyes with your palm. The longer the pressing time, the better the effect, which can not only reduce swelling, but also prevent bleeding and cyanosis. It would be best if it could be pressurized in the first three days.

3. Cold compress with ice packs for the first three days after operation.

If you have an ice pack at home, you can also use an ice pack to cold compress the wound. When using, clean gauze must be spread on the surgical site to prevent the water droplets on the ice pack from infecting the wound. Cold compress must be in the first three days, which can effectively stop bleeding and help reduce swelling.

4. Hot compress the wound after three days.

Three days after operation, hot towels or boiled eggs can be applied to the blue place, which will help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and help to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis.

5. Use detumescence drugs after operation.

Postoperative swelling can be helped by oral administration or infusion. Every plastic surgery clinic will prepare drugs for patients to reduce swelling. Infusion of detumescence drugs is also a good way to speed up recovery.
