What should I do if my eyes become bloodshot after double eyelid surgery?

In order to make the eyes appear bigger and brighter, many people choose to undergo double eyelid surgery. After double eyelid surgery, the eyes are prone to congestion, so you need to pay attention to proper care and apply some anti-inflammatory ointment.

1 Although double eyelid surgery has relatively small risks, since the eyelids are located near the eyes and have many small blood vessels, sometimes some small blood vessels may be injured during the operation, and blood may enter the conjunctiva, causing conjunctival congestion. Patients don't need to be nervous, this situation will disappear in a few days.

2 After double eyelid surgery, patients can apply cold water to their eyes within three days after the operation to cool and constrict blood vessels so that they stop bleeding. In the next three to seven days, use hot water to apply to your eyes to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling faster.

3 After the double eyelid surgery, the patient can apply some anti-inflammatory ointments or take some pioneer anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent inflammation of the surgical site. It takes 2-6 weeks for the patient to recover from the swelling. It is recommended that the patient rest at home during this period, avoid overusing the eyes, get more rest, and avoid facing strong sunlight.

4. Notes:

There will be a recovery period after surgery. The length of this recovery period varies according to each person's physical condition. Patients should not worry. The swelling will go away in a few weeks and will become more natural over time.
