Things to note when opening the inner and outer canthus

I believe many women know about canthoplasty. Canthoplasty is a kind of micro plastic surgery. Many women who have canthoplasty do so because they are more or less dissatisfied with the area around their eyes. Canthoplasty is a very common micro-plastic surgery, which mainly includes inner canthus and outer canthus, and the effects of inner canthus and outer canthus surgery are also different. Although the surgeries for inner and outer canthus opening are very minor, there are still many things to pay attention to when doing this.

Preoperative considerations

1. Do not take medicine containing aspirin within two weeks before surgery, because aspirin will reduce the function of platelet coagulation;

2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform their doctors of their conditions in detail during the initial visit so that the attending doctor can accurately confirm the surgical plan;

3. Before the operation, make sure you are in good health and have no infectious diseases or other body inflammation;

4. Do not wear makeup before canthoplasty surgery;

5. Women must avoid menstruation;

6. Men need to quit smoking one week in advance.

Postoperative precautions

1. Try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 7 days after surgery;

2. Ensure the surgical site is clean to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline.

3. After the operation, you can apply pressure bandage or ice pack to the local wound.

4. You should rest in a quiet and comfortable environment after the operation.

5. The wound will be a little painful on the day of surgery.

6. Avoid eating spicy foods such as chili peppers;

7. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions on taking medication and going for follow-up visits.

Due to racial differences, most Oriental peoples have epicanthus growing at the inner corners of their eyes, making their eyes appear short. Canthoplasty is a procedure that involves cutting and shifting the skin at the inner corner of the eye to make the eyes appear longer.

Whether it is opening the inner canthus or the outer canthus, people's original intention is to make themselves more beautiful and better. However, everyone should still pay attention to the post-surgery care work of inner and outer canthus opening. There are many things to pay attention to before and after the operation. You must be extra careful, which can also provide a safe guarantee for the operation. I hope this can help everyone.
