After double eyelid surgery and removing the bags under his eyes, opening and closing his eyes will cause different degrees of pain. However, patients should not be afraid to open their eyes because of the pain, but lie in bed with their eyes closed, which is not conducive to the formation of double eyelids and the regression of swelling. So one hour after operation, you can open your eyes and close your eyes, watch TV or do other things, or work as usual. If the folds of the double eyelids are two or more layers, that is, the so-called "triple eyelid", the skin of the upper eyelid can be lifted with the dry thumb and forefinger, so that the eyes can look up and the skin of the eyelid can be pulled down. Repeat the pulling action, and most of the extra wrinkles will disappear. If the wrinkles can't disappear after pulling for a period of time, you should find a doctor in time to find out the reason. People who do blepharoplasty can often look up, accelerate local recovery and the disappearance of mild ectropion. Eyelid is loose tissue, and it takes more than 3-6 months to recover completely after operation. In order to promote early recovery, local wet and hot compress can be done after suture removal. Scar softening cream and scar equality. It can be attached to the incision at night and at rest to prevent scar hyperplasia and shorten the time of scar regression.
We often see people who have done double eyelid surgery, that is, patients with double eyelids, some recover quickly and some recover slowly; Some look natural quickly, while others take a long time to be accepted by people. Why is this?
In addition to some individual differences, nursing details in personal life are also very important. After double eyelid surgery, first, pay attention to strengthen the movement of eye muscles. Double eyelid surgery usually needs to cover the incision for one day, and take off the covered gauze the next day after operation, and do eye opening exercise as soon as possible. Only by continuously strengthening the eye opening movement can we promote the blood circulation of eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate the swelling of the surgical site and promote the early absorption of surgical congestion.
The second is to prevent scar hyperplasia at the surgical site. Some people still use some anti-wrinkle sunscreen products containing heavy metals such as mercury after double eyelid surgery. These cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals may aggravate the scar hyperplasia of surgical incision, and the situation will be even worse if they are people with scar constitution. Therefore, within three to six months after operation, it is the proliferative period of surgical scars. During this period, cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals shall not be used.
Third, pay attention to the moisturizing and softening of eyelid tissue. Many people's surgical incisions have completely returned to normal, but the surgical site still feels nervous and dull, and others look awkward. In fact, this phenomenon is normal after surgery. As long as the local moisturizing and softening are done well, the tension will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, after double eyelid surgery's incision is completely healed, you can use some skin care cosmetics made by regular manufacturers that moisturize and soften tissues and contain no heavy metals.

Healing is a gradual process. Half a year after operation, the scar can be pale pink, and finally it can gradually become shallow and become an almost invisible white line. On the other hand, the good effect of blepharoplasty (more youthful appearance) can last for several years, and many people can keep it for life.
