1. What are the methods of double eyelid surgery

1. Suture embedding method

It is also called the polymer molding method, which uses sutures to directly Sutures (or polymer sutures) are buried between the skin and the tarsal plate, causing adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate, forming double eyelids. This method is easy to operate, has little trauma, leaves no scars, reduces swelling quickly, and does not require removal of stitches. It is more suitable for young people with thin eyelids, long eye fissures, and no skin laxity. It is also suitable for those with thick eyelids, loose skin, and those with age. Larger ones are not suitable and may cause the double eyelids to disappear.

The thread embedding method is suitable for people with thin upper eyelids, no obvious fat, no loose upper eyelid skin, and younger people. The advantages are that it is easy to operate, less invasive and quick to recover. However, the disadvantage is that the scope of application is small, and it is effective for those with upper eyelid hypertrophy, and double eyelids are easy to disappear.

2. Incisional double eyelid surgery

This is a permanent double eyelid surgery. It removes loose skin, orbicularis oculi muscle and hypertrophic fat through incisions. , under direct vision, the skin and the orbicularis oculi muscle or the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis are directly sutured together to form a double eyelid. This method requires skin incision, which is slightly more invasive, but the upper eyelid structure can be adjusted through the incision. The effect is reliable and long-lasting, and is suitable for single eyelids in various situations. The swelling will take a little longer to subside, and the wound will leave a linear scar.

The incision method is suitable for all situations. It can remove loose upper eyelid skin, remove excess orbital septum fat, and deepen the orbital fossa. The surgical effect is long-lasting. The disadvantage is that the operation is more complicated, the trauma is larger, and it takes a certain amount of time for the edema to subside after surgery.

3. Swelling-free incision method

Swelling-free incision method does not cut off or destroy the blood vessels in the eyelid area when incising the double eyelids, but leaves them intact and removes a small piece of skin. , cut off excess fat, then sew the eyelid line to the eyelid plate or levator fascia, incise the eyelids, and use sutures to fix the levator fascia to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue where double eyelids are required. , and then suture the skin. This results in almost no swelling of the eyes after surgery and a faster recovery time.

4. Pressing method

Similar to the suturing method, the mucous membrane and skin are sutured through to form a double eyelid. Because the upper eyelid is continuously sutured through the entire thickness, which blocks the return of blood vessels, the upper eyelid becomes significantly swollen, and the swelling decreases slowly. The sutures need to be removed, and the double eyelid may also disappear.

After double eyelid surgery, people must pay attention to their daily health care and not let their hard-earned surgery go to waste due to their own negligence.

2. How to care for your eyes after double eyelid surgery

1. There will be some pain in the wound on the day of double eyelid surgery, but it will gradually lessen as time goes by. Don't rush to take painkillers, because aspirin drugs can aggravate wound bleeding, which requires special attention in post-double eyelid surgery care.

2. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection. It is very important to clean the wound after double eyelid surgery. If the wound is not clean, infection can easily occur, leading to the formation of wound scars. So be careful not to get the wound wet 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.

3. For double eyelid surgery, the sutures are usually removed 5 to 7 days after surgery. Sometimes there will be very small threads left in the wound after the sutures are removed. As time goes by, the threads will slowly push out or be absorbed by themselves. What you need to do after double eyelid surgery is to avoid touching the wound with your hands to avoid infection.

4. After double eyelid surgery, you should have a quiet and comfortable environment to rest. Indoor air should be fresh, circulated and maintained at a certain temperature. Increase protein intake in your diet and eat more fruits and fresh vegetables. Do not watch TV or newspapers within 1 week after the operation. It is best to lie in a semi-recumbent position (raise the pillow) when resting in bed to avoid excessive eye fatigue or excessive head position, which may aggravate wound swelling.

5. In post-double eyelid surgery care, attention should also be paid to strengthening eye muscle exercises. Double eyelid surgery generally requires covering the incision for one day. On the second day after surgery, the covering gauze must be removed and eye-opening exercises should be performed 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.

6. Prevention and treatment of bleeding, congestion or hematoma from surgical wounds. If small blood vessels are damaged during surgery or hemostasis is not complete during surgery, external impact to the eyes after surgery, intense exercise or changing emotions can cause wound bleeding, congestion or hematoma. In order to prevent the occurrence of the above complications, the post-double eyelid surgery care can be to apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack to apply cold compress, 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 consultation in time.

Post-double eyelid surgery care is very important and requires attention. In addition, double eyelid surgery is a technology related to one’s own health and beauty, so everyone needs to have a full understanding of it. If adverse reactions occur after surgery, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
