What to do if the corners of your double eyelids are enlarged

Double eyelid surgery is a popular surgery because many people with single eyelids want to have double eyelid surgery. It’s just that everyone’s situation is different. Some people may experience some side effects after double eyelid surgery. For example, problems such as eye corner hyperplasia need to be dealt with in a timely manner. Double eyelid hyperplasia will affect the body's image and cause severe deformation of the face. What should I do if my double eyelids and eye corners are just growing?

Preoperative

1. Before the operation, you can prepare cotton swabs, iodine, antibiotics, eye drops, etc.

2. Avoid taking aspirin or other blood anticoagulants within two weeks before surgery.

3. Female patients seeking cosmetic surgery should avoid undergoing surgery during menstrual periods.

4. Get enough rest one day before the operation and stay in good condition.

After surgery

1. Apply local ice compress within 48 hours after surgery to reduce swelling. When applying cold compress, make sure the wound is clean and dry, and the wound cannot see water.

2. On the second day after the operation, ask the surgeon to change the wound dressing, clean the blood clots, and remove the gauze bandage.

3. Take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for three days after the operation to prevent wound infection.

4. Disinfect the wound twice a day for 2 to 7 days after the operation. If there is blood scab on the wound, wash it off gently. Do not leave any blood scab, otherwise it may affect the removal of stitches and recovery.

5. The stitches should be removed one week after the operation. The wound must not be exposed to water before removal. It is best to ask the surgeon to remove the stitches. If the wound is in good condition after the stitches are removed, water can be allowed to see water two days later.

6. After the stitches are removed, if there are signs of scar hyperplasia, use scar removal medicine in time. The better ones are Bak or Dermatix Gel, which are generally available in the plastic surgery department of tertiary hospitals and should be used for more than three months.

7. After the stitches are removed, you can open and close your eyes more often and look upward.

8. Avoid certain foods for one month after the operation. If there is scar hyperplasia, you need to avoid certain foods for a longer period of time, more than three months. Avoid foods such as seafood, cigarettes, alcohol, beef, mutton, spicy food, etc.

9. You can wear light makeup two weeks after the operation. If there is scar hyperplasia, avoid wearing makeup on the surgical incision.

10. After full-cut double eyelid surgery, most of the swelling will disappear within one to two weeks. At this time, the appearance will not affect normal life. It takes 3 to 6 months for the swelling to disappear completely. With time, the swelling will recover more and more natural and beautiful.
