Disadvantages of double eyelid surgery

Double eyelid surgery can certainly make our eyes brighter, but we cannot ignore the consequences before the operation. I hope everyone will understand the disadvantages of double eyelid surgery before considering it and think twice before doing it. Major or minor surgery has risks. What are the 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.
