How many days after double eyelid surgery can I wash my face

Compared with single eyelids, double eyelids are very beautiful. Among the five senses of a person, eyes are a more important part. If you have a pair of bright big eyes, you will not only add a sense of confidence to yourself, but also make you look very energetic. Some people with single eyelids have turned single eyelids into double eyelids through surgery. However, it is best not to wash your face within a week after the double eyelid surgery. You can use a hot towel for hot compress.

What is the best age?

Theoretically, there is no specific age limit for double eyelid surgery. The most basic condition is that it can only be performed after adulthood. If a person under the age of 16 strongly requests to have the surgery, they must have the signature of their parents.

In addition, our skin begins to age gradually after the age of 25, so double eyelid surgery is best performed before the age of 30, so that the body's self-recovery ability is stronger and the postoperative effect is more ideal. If you are older and have ptosis, eye surgery will be more complicated and will take longer to recover.

Therefore, it is recommended to have double eyelid surgery between the ages of 18 and 35 for better recovery. Of course, the specific situation also depends on personal constitution, such as whether you have a scar-prone constitution.

Who is more suitable for double eyelid surgery?

Anyone who is in good health, mentally normal, actively requests surgery and has no contraindications can undergo double eyelid surgery. However, the double eyelid effect will be more obvious for the following eye types.

1. The surgical effect is better for patients with positive type single eyelids with longer palpebral fissures, thinner upper eyelids and high nose bridge.

2. The sagging upper eyelids not only look unsightly, but also affect vision. A feeling of heaviness in the eyes is common (common in older patients). Generally, after the operation, not only the appearance is improved, but also the eye discomfort and narrow field of vision are greatly improved.

3. Certain eye diseases: entropion, ptosis (including congenital, traumatic, iatrogenic), etc. can be corrected surgically and double eyelids can be created at the same time.

4. Certain special types of eye shapes, such as the so-called: splayed eyes, squinting eyes, uneven eyes, triangular eyes, etc., can also be made into double eyelids during the correction.

5. For some patients with single eyelids who have a low nose bridge, wide inner canthus distance, or accompanied by epicanthus and small palpebral fissures, although double eyelid surgery can be performed, doing rhinoplasty and canthoplasty at the same time can achieve greater improvement and the best effect.

6. If you are not satisfied with the shape of your double eyelids after surgery or if the double eyelid folds have disappeared, you can also consider double eyelid repair.

7. If you have severe hidden double eyelids, it is relatively easy to create double eyelids with better results as long as you request surgery.

8. One single and one pair, can be improved on one side. However, it requires a high level of symmetry from the doctor, who needs to use the eye with double eyelids as the standard to achieve symmetry. Otherwise, it will easily lead to asymmetry between the two eyes, which will affect the effect.

9. For patients with super-strong single eyelids (commonly known as puffy eyelids), who have thick eyelids, abundant subcutaneous fat and look bloated, there will generally be obvious improvement in their eyes after surgery.
