Things to note after eye surgery

The outside of a person's eyes is mainly divided into the outer canthus and the inner canthus, but because the eyes have a great influence on the person's face, most people want to have a pair of big and beautiful eyes. Therefore, cosmetic surgery to cut the eyes is becoming more and more popular. Generally, people’s eyes will become much bigger after having their eyes cut, but it is still a cosmetic surgery. So what precautions should be taken after having their eyes cut?

1. Keep the wound clean to prevent infection

It is very important to clean the wound after double eyelid surgery. If the wound is not clean, it is easy to get infected and lead to the formation of scars. So be careful not to wet the wound when washing your face after surgery. The eye dressing can be removed 1 to 2 days after the operation. If there are blood scabs or secretions on the wound, they can be wiped with sterile saline or medical alcohol.

2. Do not take painkillers casually

There will be some pain in the wound on the day of double eyelid surgery, but it will gradually subside over time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers because aspirin-like drugs will increase bleeding in the wound.

3. Pay attention to moisturizing and softening the eyelid tissue

For many people, the incisions from double eyelid surgery have completely recovered to normal, but the operated area still feels tight, which makes them feel stiff and looks awkward to others. In fact, as long as the local area is moisturized and softened, the feeling of tightness will be alleviated accordingly.

4. Pay attention to strengthening eye muscle exercises

Double eyelid surgery generally requires covering the incision for one day. The covering gauze should be removed on the second day after the operation, and eye-opening exercises should be performed as soon as possible. Only by continuously strengthening the exercise of opening your eyes wide can you promote blood circulation in the eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate swelling in the surgical area, and promote the early absorption of surgical blood stasis.

As double eye surgery becomes more popular, many small clinics are advertising their services under the guise of low prices in order to attract customers. It should be clear that low prices will inevitably lead to safety risks. Incomplete disinfection facilities and aging equipment will affect the results of the surgery.
