Three points to note when doing buried suture double eyelid surgery: none of them can be ignored

Some people think that eyeliner removal is just a simple surgery and does not require any special attention. Facts have proved that this idea is totally wrong. The first thing to do is to prevent the wound from bleeding. 2-3 days after the operation, the suture area will be obviously red and swollen. This situation indicates a high possibility of infection. It is important to seek medical attention early, open drainage in time, and remove sutures, otherwise the infection will be difficult to control. At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, use topical antibiotic eye drops, oral or intramuscular antibiotics.

1. Prevention and treatment of wound bleeding, congestion or hematoma after buried suture double eyelid surgery. If small blood vessels are damaged during surgery or bleeding is not completely stopped, if the eye is hit externally after surgery, or if strenuous exercise or erratic emotions occur, it may cause bleeding, congestion or hematoma in the wound. To prevent the occurrence of the above complications, you can apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack to cool it, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the eyes.

2. Care one week after buried suture double eyelid surgery. 2-3 days after the operation, the suture area will be obviously red and swollen. This situation indicates a high possibility of infection. It is important to seek medical attention early, open drainage in time, and remove sutures, otherwise the infection will be difficult to control. At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, use topical antibiotic eye drops, oral or intramuscular antibiotics. If the skin around the needle hole becomes red and has a slight nodule, this is a normal reaction and no special treatment is required. Another situation is that there is always a nodule on the skin at the suture site 1 week or more after the operation. This situation is often caused by incomplete embedding of the suture knot, which stimulates the skin tissue to produce a chronic inflammatory reaction. The stitches will be removed 5-7 days after buried suture double eyelid surgery. Sometimes after the stitches are removed, there will be tiny thread ends left in the wound. Over time, the thread ends will slowly push out or be absorbed by themselves.

3. Changes in the training environment. Keep the indoor air fresh, circulating and at a certain temperature. Increase protein intake in your diet, eat more fruits and fresh vegetables, and avoid spicy foods and seafood. Do not watch TV or read newspapers within one week after the operation. Rest in bed in a semi-recumbent position (with a raised pillow) to avoid excessive eye fatigue or low head position which may aggravate wound swelling. The treatment can be local physical therapy, local application of some ampicillin ointment and hot compress, etc., which can generally be absorbed by themselves without leaving any sequelae. If this is not effective, you may consider removing the sutures.
