1, different surgical methods
(1), embedding double eyelids: directly embedding the suture between the skin and the meibomian by means of suture, so that the aponeurosis of the upper eyelid adheres to the skin to form double eyelids. Suitable for young people with less fat, thin skin and good elasticity in the orbital septum of the upper eyelid. There is no need to remove stitches after operation, and the recovery time is about 3 weeks.
(2) Korean minimally invasive double eyelid surgery: through three-point incision, appropriate amount of fat and orbicularis oculi muscle were removed, and dermis and tarsal plate were sutured at multiple points. Suitable for beauty seekers with thin eye skin, less eye fat and long eye crack. Generally, the swelling will subside in one week, 1-3 months later.
(3) Total double eyelid resection: It is a widely used double eyelid operation method. By cutting the skin of the upper eyelid, excess skin, muscle, connective tissue and fat are removed, and the incision is sutured to form a permanent double eyelid. Compared with catgut embedding and Korean style, postoperative swelling is more obvious. Generally, the swelling peak is within 3 days, and the swelling gradually decreases around 1 week. It usually takes 1-2 months to recover, and it takes 3-6 months to fully recover.
2, their own physical problems
(1), the eyelids are very thick, even if all the muscles under the skin are removed, the thickness of the skin itself is difficult to eliminate the swelling on the surface.
(2) Exophthalmos can also thicken the tissues below the double eyelids. Such eyes are often accompanied by different degrees of upper eyelid depression, which is heavier than the underlying tissue.
(3) Personal physique is different. Some fairies are slower than others in healing and recovery of surgical wounds. Of course, age is also important. Young people recover faster after operation, while the metabolism of the elderly is slow, and the natural recovery is slower.
3, postoperative care problems
(1), keep the wound clean.
Some people have double eyelids, and their eyes are like peaches when they take out stitches. It takes a long time to reduce swelling. One of the important reasons is that they didn't take serious care after operation. Keeping the wound clean after double eyelid surgery can effectively prevent infection; Conducive to the recovery of the wound. It is suggested that you can make an appointment with a doctor to clean the surgical wound on the third day after operation, clean the blood scab and secretion in the corner of your eyes in time, and keep the wound clean.
(2), cold compress, hot compress should be timely.

After 3 days, you can start hot compress, which is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so that the wound scar can be quickly calmed down. Whether it is cold compress or hot compress, you must not let the water wet the wound. Pay attention to keep it clean and dry. If the wound is infected, you must go to the hospital in time and don't handle it without authorization.
(3), pillow high sleep
When you sleep at night, it is best to put a pillow on it, or two or three pillows are stacked together to keep your head high and your feet low, which will help to reduce swelling as soon as possible. When sleeping, the pillow is too low, which easily leads to edema of the face and eyes. Postoperative edema is mostly due to congestion. However, if the pillow is raised, the blood reflux in the head and face can be appropriately reduced.
(4) Open your eyes more to promote blood circulation.
After the operation, you can open your eyes upward, hold your eyebrows with two fingers, and open your eyes without the strength of your forehead.
