How to take care of the quick recovery of eye bags after external surgery

Avoid using your eyes for long periods of time

After completing the external incision eye bag surgery, you need to avoid using your eyes for a long time, because many people's eye bags are caused by excessive use of the eyes. Therefore, after the external incision eye bag surgery, you need to pay attention to avoid using computers, mobile phones, IPADs and other electronic devices for a long time, do some outdoor activities every day, and give your eyes sufficient rest, which is conducive to the rapid recovery of the external incision eye bag surgery.

Pay attention to changing dressings and anti-inflammatory drugs

After completing external incision liposuction of eye bags, you need to go to the hospital in time to change the dressing and ensure that the dressing is clean to shorten the recovery time after liposuction of eye bags. Medical staff will use cotton swabs to wipe the wound and remove all the blood scabs. There will be some pain when changing the dressing, but in order to recover as soon as possible, those who love beauty need to be patient as much as possible.

Pay attention to dietary adjustment

After undergoing external blepharoplasty, those who love beauty can adjust their diet to help the surgery recover as quickly as possible. It is recommended that those who love beauty consume some foods containing healthy fats in their daily diet to restore the elasticity of the skin (for example, foods such as almonds and walnuts are rich in beneficial fats, which can make the skin more delicate and firm, allowing the patient to recover as soon as possible after eye bag liposuction surgery). It is worth mentioning that after eye bag liposuction, you also need to avoid greasy diet, try to keep the diet light, eat some natural and less processed foods, and avoid eating seafood, because seafood is an allergen for some people, which can easily cause skin allergies and affect the postoperative recovery of eye bag liposuction.

Correct cold and hot compresses help promote recovery

In order to promote the reduction of swelling and overall recovery after external excision eye bag surgery, some beauty lovers will use hot and cold compresses to reduce swelling after surgery. In fact, cold compresses should be used to reduce swelling 3 days after surgery. Each time you apply a cold compress, you need to wrap the hot towel with clean plastic wrap and apply it for 15 minutes.

It should be noted that if swelling still occurs 4-5 days after the external excision eye bag surgery, hot compress should be used to eliminate the swelling of the eyes. The correct method of hot compress is very important. You need to soak a towel in hot water, squeeze it dry, put it in a clean plastic bag and apply it to the eyes.
