Does double eyelid surgery hurt?

In this age of beauty, everyone wants to have a pair of bright eyes, which not only makes them more beautiful but also increases their self-confidence. With the development of medical technology, many people who love beauty will choose double eyelid surgery. However, the eyelids will swell after surgery and need a certain recovery period. Many people are afraid and worried that it will hurt. So, does double eyelid surgery hurt?

Before double eyelid surgery, anesthetic will be injected on the eyelid, and the eyelid will be lifted up with the needle of a syringe to inject the anesthetic. You will feel a little numb and swollen at the time, but the anesthetic will make you feel no pain during the entire double eyelid surgery. There will be some pain in the wound on the day of double eyelid surgery, but it will gradually subside over time. The patient should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-like drugs will aggravate wound bleeding. After the operation, the double eyelids will be swollen as thick as your little finger, and the skin will be shiny. The swelling will be basically gone in 3 days, and it will be natural in a week. You need to take anti-inflammatory drugs continuously within a week, and apply penicillin eye ointment on the double eyelids, the yellow one. When washing your hair and face, remember not to get water in your eyes.

In addition to the above, you should also pay attention to the following points after double eyelid surgery:

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, leading to the formation of scars.

2. Pay attention to strengthening the exercise of the eye muscles: 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.

3. To prevent scar proliferation at the surgical site: Some people still use anti-wrinkle sunscreen products containing heavy metals such as mercury after double eyelid surgery. This is wrong.
