Don't take off the gauze on the day of operation, that is, after double eyelid surgery, a gauze strip will be attached to the upper eyelid, which is to prevent pressure bleeding. Generally, just after surgery, the doctor will let you press for half an hour before you go to prevent blood leakage. So don't remove the gauze yourself after discharge. Go to the hospital the next day after surgery or take it out yourself. Move gently and slowly, and don't tear it forcibly.
Don't rush to take painkillers after operation. The doctor will prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers that affect blood coagulation function. If the pain is not unbearable, don't rush to take painkillers, because aspirin will reduce blood coagulation, thus aggravating wound bleeding.
You must go to the hospital for dressing change within 48 hours after the operation. Generally, you have to go to the hospital for dressing change the next day after your double eyelids are finished. This dressing change is not only a dressing change, but also a link for doctors to check the surgical effect. Only by finding the problem in time can we avoid affecting the effect of the whole operation. Some doctors will tell you to go to the hospital for stitches one week after operation, but they won't ask you to have an examination. But if you don't want to make mistakes, please bother yourself and see a doctor the next day.
Don't get wet for a week and pay attention to cleaning. This is the most important point. After double eyelid surgery, the eye wound must not be stained with water, and at the same time, it should be kept clean to prevent bacterial infection. Because wound infection will not only delay wound healing, but also cause scars. So wash your face after double eyelid surgery, and be careful not to wet the wound. Apply erythromycin eye ointment to the incision with a sterile cotton swab once a day, and wear sunglasses when going out to avoid sunlight to stimulate the wound and prevent scar hyperplasia. Patients with wide eyes should use antibiotic eye drops several times a day. After removing the gauze, if there is secretion in the corner of the eye, gently wipe off the secretion in the corner of the eye with a sterile cotton swab dipped in eye drops or sterile saline. Note: Keep cheerful and don't cry.
Cold compress within 3 days after operation, and hot compress after 3 days. Many people can't tell the difference between cold and hot compress. It must be noted that cold compress can only be performed within 3 days after operation. Because cold compress can stop bleeding within 1-3 days after operation: 20 minutes each time, more than 5 times a day, the wound is isolated from the ice compress bag with gauze, and the wound cannot get wet. Use the water temperature in the cold room instead of the freezing room to avoid frostbite. 5-7 days after operation, hot compress can eliminate hematoma: 20 minutes each time, more than 5 times a day. Heat the hot compress bag in warm water. Don't put it in boiling water to avoid scalding.
Open your eyes more during the recovery period, watch less TV and play with your mobile phone, and open your eyes more after the operation. You can feel the position of double eyelid folding after operation. Doing this action more can promote blood circulation and help postoperative recovery. Note: Don't use too much force to prevent double eyelid bleeding. This period of time is mainly to let your eyes rest, try to play mobile phones less and watch TV less.
Be sure to avoid eating.
Some doctors will say you can eat anything, but I tell you, if you want to get better soon, you must avoid eating. Everyone's physique is different. Some people don't avoid eating, and some people will have wound inflammation. Therefore, the diet should also be light, and spicy food is forbidden. Eat less alcohol, tobacco and seafood within six months after operation. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and supplementing vitamins are beneficial to wound repair; Eat more high-quality and high-protein foods, such as beef, chicken and fish. To provide energy for the body to repair.
Pad the pillow higher, and don't use cosmetics.
When you sleep at night, you can put your pillow high, with your head high and your feet low, which is conducive to swelling reduction. Avoid using cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals within 3 months after operation, otherwise it may lead to scar hyperplasia of surgical incision. ?
