How long does it take for the eyelid to return to its natural state?

Eyes are very important to everyone. Everyone wants to have a pair of charming eyes. Nowadays, many women will have canthoplasty or double eyelid surgery to make their eyes look more beautiful. Eyelid surgery can make the eyes more charming, but many people don’t know how long the recovery period of eyelid surgery is. The following introduces how long it takes for the eyelid to return to natural state.

How long does it take for the eyelid to return to its natural state?

First, the advantage of internal incision is that there will be no marks on the skin under the eye, but the degree of improvement is smaller than the second method.

Second, the advantage of internal and external cutting is that the improvement is large and the effect is obvious. However, because it is an external incision, we cannot guarantee that there will be no marks at all, but the marks are very small and not obvious, and basically cannot be seen after recovery.

Third, no incision is required, the trauma is minimal, and the recovery is fast with no obvious scars;

Fourth, there are fewer complications. It is normal for the tail of young people's eyes to be 10 to 15 degrees higher than the head of the eye. If the angle of Japanese people's eyes is higher than this standard, it is called "hanging eyes". If you want to improve this kind of eyes to give a softer impression, you need to undergo lower eyelid lowering surgery.

The difference between canthoplasty and lower eyelid surgery for different groups of people

Canthoplasty

There is a difference in the people who are suitable for canthoplasty and eyelid closure. Canthoplasty is a surgery that is suitable for a very narrow range of people, and is only suitable for those who are born with microphthalmia. For other people, canthoplasty surgery is not necessary, mainly because the structure of the outer canthus is special. If the canthus is opened rashly, it will easily cause the mucosa to retract and the canthus will grow again.

Eyelid down to

Lower eyelid and canthus opening are suitable for different people. Lower eyelid is suitable for people with symptoms of drooping eyes, upturned outer canthus or high lower eyelid.

People with crossed eyes (esotropia, crossed eyes) are not suitable for this surgery because the white of the eye is larger on the outside than on the inside. If the surgery is performed downward, more white of the eye will be exposed, making the defect of crossed eyes more prominent. In addition, people with sclera of the eyes are not suitable for such surgery because their pupils are located higher and there is more white of the eye below the pupil and on the left and right sides. If they undergo lower eyelid surgery, their eyes will appear dull and uglier. The last two groups of people who are not suitable for this surgery are those who have their lower eyelid pulled down and loosened after eyelid-bulb separation, and those whose lower eyelid recovers slowly and is in poor condition, and those whose eyeball protrusion is greater than the zygomatic protrusion. Because if the lower eyelid recovers slowly and is in poor condition, lower eyelid dislocation is likely to occur after the surgery if the eyelid is lowered.

Canthoplasty

There are also differences in the surgical methods between canthoplasty and eyelid lowering. Canthoplasty is a procedure that involves cutting open the outer mucosa of the posterior canthus to lengthen the eye horizontally, making the eye shape longer and more beautiful, and turning small eyes into charming large eyes. For droopy eyes, not only the outer canthus needs to be opened, but the shape of the canthus also needs to be corrected. The method is to cut the outer corner of the eye and pull the corner down and suture it at the same time.

For drooping eyes, cut the outer canthus and pull the eye upwards. If the drooping is not too serious or is normal, it can be moved horizontally and sutured.

Eyelid down to

There is a difference between lower eyelid surgery and canthus opening. Lower eyelid surgery can be divided into internal incision, combined internal and external incision, and external incision.

Internal incision method: The incision on the conjunctival side of the eyelid is made 2 mm below the palpebral conjunctiva (inside the lower eyelid), the muscle and conjunctiva are fixed with thread, and finally the conjunctiva is sutured to complete the operation.
