I got my period after double eyelid surgery

Some female friends happen to have their periods right after having double eyelid surgery. At this time, they will be very worried about causing greater harm to their bodies. In fact, as long as the care is good, it will not have any impact on menstruation. Just make sure that the surface of the wound is absolutely clean and hygienic to avoid any infection. Do not get it wet, and do not take any painkillers during this period.

The speed of recovery from double eyelid surgery depends not only on individual differences, but also on the details of personal care in daily life:

1. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection

It is very important to keep the wound clean after surgery. If the wound is not clean, it is easy to get infected and lead to the formation of scars. So be careful not to wet the wound when washing your face after surgery. The eye dressing can be removed 1 to 2 days after the operation. If there are blood scabs or secretions on the wound, they can be wiped with sterile saline or medical alcohol.

2. Do not take painkillers casually during face-lift surgery

There will be some pain on the day of surgery, but it will gradually subside over time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers because aspirin-like drugs will increase bleeding in the wound.

3. Prevention and treatment of bleeding, congestion or hematoma in surgical wounds after facial reshaping

If small blood vessels are damaged during surgery or bleeding is not completely stopped, if the eye is hit externally after surgery, or if strenuous exercise or erratic emotions occur, it may cause bleeding, congestion or hematoma in the wound. To prevent the occurrence of the above complications, you can apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack to cool it, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the eyes. If continuous bleeding or severe hematoma occurs after surgery, you should go to the hospital for follow-up consultation in time.

4. Pay attention to strengthening the eye muscle exercise during face reshaping

Double eyelid surgery generally requires covering the incision for one day. The covering gauze should be removed on the second day after the operation, and eye-opening exercises should be performed as soon as possible. Only by continuously strengthening the exercises of opening the eyes can the blood circulation of the eye muscles and surrounding tissues be promoted, the swelling of the surgical site can be reduced and gradually eliminated, and the early absorption of surgical blood stasis can be promoted.

5. Resurfacing to prevent scar hyperplasia at the surgical site

Some people still use 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 proliferation of scars from surgical incisions, and if you are a person with a scar-prone constitution, it will make the situation even worse. Therefore, the three to six months after surgery is the proliferation period of surgical scars. During this period, you must not use cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals.
