Double eyelid surgery is a very common cosmetic procedure, and more and more people are beginning to accept micro plastic surgery. Many people want to have double eyelids, so they go for double eyelid surgery. Double eyelid threading is a very common method. Some people say that double eyelid threading will be absorbed. Will double eyelid threading be absorbed? Will double eyelid threads be absorbed?

1. Will the double eyelid threads be absorbed?

Whether the double eyelid threads will be absorbed mainly depends on the material used to embed the double eyelid threads.

Generally speaking, double eyelid thread embedding mainly uses polymer protein thread and nylon thread. As long as the embedding position is accurate, these two materials will not be absorbed quickly. Double eyelid thread embedding is possible. Keep it for a longer time.

2. High-protein threads will not be absorbed

If the material used to embed double eyelids is high-protein thread, it will not be absorbed by the human body because the high-molecular protein is not absorbed. It will deteriorate easily, so this kind of thread is not harmful to the human body.

3. Monofilament nylon thread will not be absorbed

The buried thread material used in some hospitals is imported monofilament nylon thread, which is mainly made of polyamide. It is made and has high firmness when knotted. Moreover, it is not an absorptive thread and will take a long time to be completely decomposed and absorbed. It will be surrounded by local tissues in the body and will not cause any harm to the body.

4. The difference between high-protein thread and nylon thread

(1) Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages: The effect of double eyelids produced by using high-protein thread is more natural , the recipient will feel a lifting and tightening effect on the eyelids, and the surgical wound is smaller and the recovery time is short. Nylon threads have higher adhesion strength during surgical suturing and knotting, and the material is relatively hard, so it is easy to sew through soft tissue.

Disadvantages: The effect of high-protein threads is directly related to personal physique and skin condition. After the protein threads enter the skin, the collagen fiber network in the dermis of the skin pulls the protein threads. If the human fiber network is not full enough, If it is stable, the protein thread will not be able to fuse with the surrounding nutritional molecules, causing the problem of protein thread shedding, which will affect the effect of buried double eyelids; when the nylon thread is buried in the upper eyelid skin and tarsus, it is easy to rub and irritate the skin, leading to eye sensitivity. , redness and swelling occur, and the swelling is difficult to recover immediately after surgery.

(2) Difference in maintenance time

High-protein thread: The maintenance time of high-protein thread is closely related to postoperative care. Generally, if the postoperative care is proper, high-protein thread can be used. The thread can last for more than five years, but if the upper eyelid skin is thicker, it will not last that long.

Nylon thread: After thread-embedded double eyelid surgery, as time goes by, the upper eyelid skin will become loose and sagging due to the influence of gravity and age changes, causing the double eyelids to press on the double eyelids. Wire. The material of nylon thread is relatively hard and the absorption time is relatively slow. Therefore, if imported monofilament nylon thread is used for double eyelid thread embedding, the surgical effect can basically last for about ten years.

(3) Differences in suitable and contraindication groups

High-protein thread: suitable for people whose eyelids are not very thick to undergo thread-buried double eyelid surgery, but for people with swollen eyelids and excess eye fat. is not suitable for use.

Nylon thread: suitable for people with firm skin and no excessive fat accumulation on the upper eyelids. It is not suitable for people with sagging upper eyelids, swollen eyes, and hypertrophic eyelid muscles. These people need to be buried. Not only is double eyelid surgery ineffective, it may also cause triangular eyes due to tissue compression of the double eyelid line.

5. Precautions for double eyelid surgery

1. 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 may easily occur, leading to the formation of wound scars. Therefore, when washing your face after double eyelid surgery, be careful not to wet the wound. 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. Prevention and treatment of bleeding, congestion or hematoma from surgical wounds. If small blood vessels are damaged during the operation or hemostasis is not complete during the operation, external impact on the eyes after double eyelid surgery, intense exercise or changing emotions can cause wound bleeding, congestion or hematoma. In order to prevent the occurrence of the above complications, you can apply pressure bandage to the local wound or use an ice pack to apply cold compress, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the eyes.

3. You should have a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate after surgery. Indoor air should be fresh and 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.

4. There will be some pain in the wound on the day of surgery, but it will gradually lessen as time goes by. Patients with double eyelid surgery should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-based drugs can aggravate wound bleeding.

5. For patients who have undergone blepharoplasty, the sutures should be 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. The effect of double eyelid surgery mainly depends on how you treat it, because personal aesthetics are different.

7 days after double eyelid surgery, you can do some physical exercises, such as stretching, but do not do a series of strenuous activities such as bending; 14 days after double eyelid surgery by incision, you can participate in swimming, jogging and other sports. After 4 weeks you can do any activity you want.
