How long does it take to remove stitches after pouch removal surgery?
Hello, pouch removal surgery can remove all kinds of pouches and correct entropion and trichiasis of the lower eyelid. Eye plastic surgery experts said that there are currently two ways to remove bags under the eyes. One is the lower eyelid margin incision approach, which is mainly suitable for those with simple skin relaxation, increased wrinkles in the lower eyelid, skin relaxation and orbital fat hernia, and those who need to be repaired because the offline eyeliner is too wide. The surgical incision is to cut the skin from the outer canthus to the inner canthus about 2mm along the lower eyelid margin, open the orbital septum, let the orbital fat hernia out, remove excess fat, and cut off an appropriate amount of skin according to the degree of skin relaxation, and take out stitches 5 days after operation. The other is the incision of lower eyelid conjunctiva, which is mysteriously promoted by some newspapers as "liposuction without trace to remove bags under the eyes" because it leaves no trace on the skin. For some patients who are young and have no obvious skin relaxation, but the orbital septum of the lower eyelid is swollen with fat, conjunctival incision can be used to simply remove excess orbital septum fat. The conjunctival incision can achieve satisfactory results without suture, and there is no incision on the eyelid margin skin, and of course there is no need to remove stitches. In clinical work, this method can also be considered for some middle-aged and elderly people with good skin elasticity. Even if the skin of the lower eyelid is slightly loose after degreasing, the loose skin can be simply removed again through the conjunctival margin approach of the outer eyelid.
