1. Keep the wound clean and prevent infection
It is very important to clean the wound after double eyelid surgery. If the wound is not clean, infection will easily occur, leading to the formation of wound scars. Therefore, be careful not to wet the wound when washing your face after surgery. The dressing on the eye can be removed 1 to 2 days after the operation. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, it can be wiped with sterile saline or medical alcohol.
2. Do not take painkillers casually
There will be some pain in the wound on the day of double eyelid surgery, but it will gradually lessen as time goes by. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-like drugs will aggravate wound bleeding.
3. Prevention and treatment of surgical wound bleeding, congestion or hematoma
If small blood vessels are damaged during double eyelid surgery or bleeding is not completely stopped during the operation, the eyes will be impacted externally after the operation, which may cause severe damage. Movement or changing emotions can cause bleeding, bruising, or hematomas. In order to prevent the occurrence of the above complications, local wounds can be bandaged with pressure or ice packs can be used to apply cold compresses, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damage to the eyes. Once bleeding or severe hematoma occurs after surgery, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time.
4. Pay attention to strengthening eye muscle exercises
Double eyelid surgery generally requires covering the incision for one day. The covering gauze should be removed the next day after the operation and do eye-opening exercises as soon as possible. . Only by continuously strengthening the exercise of keeping your eyes open can you promote blood circulation in the eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site, and promote the early absorption of surgical congestion.
There is no problem whether you have to go to a regular state-run plastic surgery hospital for double eyelid surgery. I recommend the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Medical College in Weifang, Shandong Province
