Is hot compress effective after double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is a very popular cosmetic surgery in modern life. This surgery has helped many people realize their dream of changing from single eyelids to double eyelids. In addition, double eyelid surgery has few side effects, is relatively safe, and is very trustworthy. However, double eyelid surgery also requires some care. For example, hot compress is one of the commonly used care measures. But is hot compress effective for double eyelid surgery?

Because modern double eyelid surgeries will leave wounds of varying degrees, it is normal to have swelling after the surgery. Using ice or heat can help reduce swelling.

After double eyelid surgery, the swelling of the eyes will not only make the patient feel uncomfortable, but if the swelling is severe, it will also cause certain inconveniences. Therefore, it is important to reduce swelling as quickly as possible after surgery. Generally speaking, hot compress can help promote blood circulation, which is very helpful in reducing swelling. Generally speaking, hot compresses can be applied three days after the operation. However, it should be noted that the temperature should not be too high to avoid burns.

After 4 or 5 days, you should start using hot compresses. If using a hot water bag, first check whether the hot water bag is leaking. Then fill the bag with hot water (preferably 60℃-70℃) to 2/3 of the bag capacity, expel the gas, tighten the bag opening, wipe off the water on the outside of the bag, and put it in a cloth cover or wrap it in cloth for later use. Apply hot compress 3-4 times a day, generally for 20-30 minutes each time. The effect of hot compress is to increase the body surface temperature, stretch the subcutaneous tissue, relax and dilate spasmodic capillaries, accelerate blood flow, and stimulate metabolism, thereby promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, promoting muscle growth, reducing inflammation, reducing swelling, relieving pain, and softening scar tissue in the affected area.

Note:

1. Rest easy after surgery

It is best to use a high pillow when sleeping at night, or stack two or three pillows together to keep your head higher than your feet. Having said that, don’t forget to get more rest. You will find yourself more beautiful when you wake up.

2. Eating randomly may lead to failure

The diet should be light, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, supplement vitamins, and in order to repair the wound, do not eat irritating and spicy foods; in addition, eat more high-quality high-protein foods, such as beef, chicken, fish, etc., to provide the body with energy for repair.
