Does it hurt when removing stitches after canthus opening?

Many people hope that their eyes can be big and bright, but not everyone is born with this condition, so the emergence of canthoplasty surgery has helped many people meet this expectation. However, it is indeed painful to remove the stitches after canthoplasty surgery, but it is bearable.

1. It will hurt when you remove the stitches after opening your eyes, but it is a mild pain that is bearable. If you are particularly afraid of pain, you can tell the doctor in advance and the doctor will give you some anesthetic so that you won't feel any pain when the stitches are removed. However, you may still feel a little pain after the stitches are removed, but it will be gone in a couple of days.

2 If you are afraid of the pain of removing stitches, you can communicate with the doctor before the operation. The doctor will use protein thread when suturing the wound. Protein thread is catgut, which is often used to suture human wounds. After the wound heals, this thread will be absorbed by the human body, so you don’t have to be afraid of the pain of removing stitches.

3. In addition, before removing the stitches, the patient must protect the wound to avoid inflammation and infection caused by contact with water. Do not wear makeup, as the substances in cosmetics will irritate the wound and increase redness and swelling. Do not play with computers or mobile phones for a long time, as this is also not conducive to wound healing.

4. Notes:

After the operation, the patient must strictly follow the doctor's requirements for maintenance, get more rest, eat more nutritious and light food, avoid eating spicy and irritating food, avoid overusing the eyes, and strive for a speedy recovery.
