Will the canthus retract after opening the eye

In modern plastic surgery hospitals, people can choose from many kinds of cosmetic surgeries, among which canthoplasty is a popular one. Because for most people, they think their eyes are not perfect enough, and only by opening the canthus can they make their eyes reach the state they think is perfect. However, before choosing to have their eyes opened, patients often consider many side effects of canthoplasty. So, will canthoplasty cause the corners of the eyes to retract?

How to avoid retraction after canthoplasty

Choose a regular doctor who specializes in eye plastic surgery

If the beauty-loving fairy really wants to have canthoplasty to prevent retraction, the first thing to pay attention to is to find a doctor who specializes in eye plastic surgery to perform the canthoplasty surgery. There are actually quite a few doctors in China who are specialized in eye plastic surgery, but we are not in a position to recommend any doctors here. You, who love beauty, can only discover some excellent eye plastic surgery doctors yourself.

Open the outer corners of the eyes as wide as possible within an appropriate range

Opening the canthoplasty just a little bit will cause it to retract, and it will completely retract to the state before the canthoplasty. Therefore, in order to better avoid retraction after canthoplasty, it is best to open the canthus as wide as possible within an appropriate range. Generally, the outer canthus is enlarged by about 4-5mm. After the recovery period, only about 2-3mm of effect can be seen. The increase in eye diameter can be felt after the operation. Therefore, in accordance with the aesthetic standard of three-part and five-eyes, the patient can ask the doctor to open the outer canthus as wide as possible, and then discuss with the doctor a canthus-opening plan that suits him or her.

Take good care of yourself after surgery

After canthoplasty, proper post-operative care is required to better avoid retraction. Among the care measures to avoid retraction, the most important one is to avoid spicy food and seafood for one month after the operation. Secondly, try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 5 days after surgery. Keep the surgical site clean to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline.

How to take care of your eyes after canthoplasty

1. After the operation, 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. If continuous bleeding and severe hematoma occur after surgery, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time; avoid eating irritating foods such as chili peppers; strictly follow the doctor's instructions for taking medicine and follow-up.

2. During the recovery period of canthoplasty surgery, you should rest in a quiet and comfortable environment. Do not watch TV or read newspapers within 2 weeks after the operation. It is best to 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.

3. There will be some pain in the wound on the day of canthoplasty surgery, but it will gradually ease as the recovery time of the surgery goes by. Don't rush to take painkillers, as aspirin-like drugs will aggravate wound bleeding.
