Have you had eye bag surgery?

As people age, their eye bags will become more and more serious. Some people have heavy eye bags due to age, while some people have heavy eye bags due to genetics. In order to make themselves more beautiful, these people choose to undergo eye bag surgery to make their eyes look bag-free. Although eye bag removal surgery can keep away from the trouble of eye bags, many people don’t know how long the eye bag surgery can last.

The stitches will be removed about 5 days after the eye bag surgery. Since the incision is close to the eyelashes, no obvious marks will be left after the wound heals. Fat that causes puffy eyelids and eye bags is permanent and will not reoccur. However, as the skin continues to age, skin sagging along the micro-wrinkles may recur to varying degrees. Even as the aging process continues, the results after blepharoplasty can last for many years. Some patients may need another revision as they age.

The effect can last for 15 years

After eye bag surgery, the eyelids are smooth, wrinkle-free, the skin is shiny, and there are generally no surgical marks on the skin incisions. A few patients will have redness at the incisions and mild scar hyperplasia in the early stages, which usually disappear in about 1-3 months. The effects of the surgery can last for at least 15 years.

How long does it take to recover after eye bag removal surgery?

Before the stitches of the eye bag incision are removed, be careful not to let the wound get wet and keep it clean to avoid infection.

For 2 days after the eye bag removal surgery, you should use ice packs for local cold compresses to prevent bleeding from the wound and reduce eye edema. If the bleeding does not stop, go to the hospital for examination immediately.

After the operation, you need to rest in a quiet environment and keep your head elevated when sleeping to avoid lowering the head too low, which may make the wound swelling worse. Daily diet is also very important. Take repair collagen orally, twice a day, 10 grams each time. At the same time, you need to eat more protein-rich foods, more fruits and vegetables, which will help the wound recover better.

What are the risks of eye bag removal surgery?

To avoid the risks of eye bag surgery, you need to do a good job of postoperative care:

1. Apply cold compress to local swelling and do not squeeze the wound hard. Hot compress after stitches are removed will help reduce swelling. Stitches are usually removed after about 7 days. Do not remove them by yourself as this may cause infection.

2. Do not wet the wound. If there is any blood residue on the wound, gently wipe it with disinfected saline.

3. Avoid violent coughing, sneezing, and suddenly lowering your head or turning over.

4. Rest in a quiet environment with fresh air.

5. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy foods and don’t drink alcohol.
