1. How long does it take to recover from double eyelid surgery?

Experts point out that the stitches are usually removed in 5-7 days, the swelling will basically subside in about 15-20 days, and the incision will basically heal in about one to three months. The recovery time of buried suture double eyelid surgery is relatively fast. Since this surgical method causes less damage, it can usually recover naturally within a week. However, this method is generally suitable for young people with thin eyelids and no sagging skin. Tips for beauty and skin care after double eyelid surgery:

1. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection. It is very important to clean the wound after double eyelid surgery. If the wound is not clean, it is easy to get infected and lead to the formation of scars. So be careful not to wet the wound when washing your face after surgery. The eye dressing can be removed 1 to 2 days after the operation. If there are blood scabs or secretions on the wound, wipe them with sterile saline or medical alcohol.

2. Be careful not to do strenuous exercise during the swelling period after double eyelid surgery.

3. Do not rub your eyes hard, but open and close your eyes more often. Pay attention to maintaining eye tension after double eyelid surgery.

4. After double eyelid surgery, try to keep your head up while studying or working, watch less TV and surf the Internet, and pay attention to eye rest.

2. Disadvantages of double eyelid surgery

1. Mild hematoma may disappear on its own, but severe hematoma or progressive hematoma requires opening an incision to stop bleeding or drain.

2. After the eyelid tissue is traumatized by surgery, reactive edema will occur between cells. Eyelid edema is normal and there is no need to worry. Pressure bandages and cold compresses can help alleviate the above phenomenon, but if the swelling is severe and continues to progress, you should have a check-up in time.

3. Although the incision and tissue wound have been sutured, there is still a small amount of bleeding. You can use cold compresses (ice cubes, cool towels), pressure bandages with elastic bandages, etc. At the same time, be careful not to lower your head excessively, open or close your eyes forcefully, etc.

4. If the scars are significantly caused by infection or physical condition, local medication, such as steroid injections, may be used.

5. If redness, swelling, heat and pain appear on the upper eyelid, infection should be considered and effective antibiotics should be used.
