How long does it take for double eyelid scars to disappear

For many girls who love beauty and pursue perfection, doing some beauty or plastic surgery projects means going all out. Current cosmetic techniques are already relatively sophisticated, and new cosmetic projects continue to emerge. Even so, double eyelid surgery is still something many women choose to do. Although double eyelid surgery is a minor operation, it will also leave scars on the eyelids. So how long will it take for this scar to disappear?

How long does it take for the scar to appear after full eyelid surgery?

The scars from a full-face double eyelid surgery generally do not disappear, but they become less obvious after half a year. In the first three months after full-cut double eyelid surgery, the surgical incision is still in the recovery process, and initial scars have been formed due to damage to the dermis during the operation. The 3-6 months after the full-cut double eyelid surgery is a period of time when scars may proliferate. During this period, if the patient closes his eyes and observes carefully, obvious scars can still be seen. Generally, scars will fade on their own 6 months after full-cut double eyelid surgery. However, if no intervention is performed, the depth of the scar will not fade much.

How to take care of scars after full double eyelid surgery

Do not remove the scab from double eyelid surgery

Do not remove the scab on the incision too early after full-cut double eyelid surgery. Removing the scab too early and forcefully will take away the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, or even tear off the dermal tissue, and stimulate the wound to cause itching.

Avoid touching or massaging the incision

After the operation, you should avoid excessive touching and massaging the incision, because the surface structure and function of the scar are generally not perfect enough, and the epidermis is easily damaged. Some incorrect practices can easily damage it. Therefore, when wiping scar removal products, do not use too much force or for too long.

Strengthen sun protection

After full-cut double eyelid surgery, you should avoid sunlight on your lower back to prevent ultraviolet stimulation, which will cause pigmentation on the incision scar and make the scar more obvious.

Use scar removal products as soon as possible

If you want scars to disappear completely and restore your skin to its original appearance, it is particularly important to apply scar removal products as soon as possible. However, the most important thing is early prevention. Pay attention to how to prevent scar formation from the very beginning, and be prepared to prevent scar formation at every stage.

Pay attention to the taboos of smoking, drinking and stimulating food

Pay attention to your diet during the scar repair period and avoid alcohol, peppers, onions, garlic and other irritating foods that will cause scars to itch. Improve your diet and eat more fruits, eggs, lean meat, pork skin and other foods rich in vitamins C, E and essential amino acids. These foods can promote blood circulation and improve epidermal metabolism.

Keep incision scars clean

Pay attention to keeping the scar clean, wipe off sweat stains in time, and be careful not to soak it in hot water, scratch it with your hands, or rub it with clothes, so as not to aggravate local irritation, promote inflammatory reaction of connective tissue, and cause further itching.

When the wound is just healing, there will be some secretions, which is the best place for bacteria to grow. At this time, the epidermis of the wound is saturated with water, which can easily cause infection and ulceration. During this period, you can clean it with a neutral detergent and then treat it with some anti-scar medication.
