What should I do if my eyes are swollen after getting a tattoo?

Becoming more and more beautiful is the wish of almost every woman. Many female friends usually choose to put on makeup before going out. However, time is often tight and they cannot put on eye liner. Therefore, many female friends choose to get a eye liner tattoo. However, before getting a eye liner tattoo, what often makes them worry is what to do if their eyes are swollen after the tattoo? Specific treatment measures are shown below.

Why do eyes swell after eyeliner

The eyeliner is made by using a machine to add points between the eyelashes and the inner side of the conjunctiva, filling the epidermis above the root of the eyelashes and the brown line near the root, which will cause some trauma to the epidermis of the skin. The eyes are a fragile and sensitive part of our body. Trauma to the skin can lead to poor blood circulation around the eyes, causing redness and swelling of the eyes after surgery. It takes a certain amount of time for the swelling to subside. Once the blood circulates, the swelling will disappear.

How to reduce swelling quickly

Do not drink fluids before going to bed on the day after surgery.

Drinking too much water before going to bed can increase the burden on the kidneys. The body's metabolism is not good during sleep, which can cause the eyes to become more swollen due to poor drainage. So remember to drink less or no water before going to bed, which will reduce the appearance of puffy eyes.

Try not to wash your face after surgery

Within 1-3 days after surgery, the skin around the eyes has not fully recovered. Raw water or cleaning products may cause inflammation of the wound, making the redness and swelling of the eyes more severe.

Apply cold compress after surgery

The three days after surgery is the period when redness and swelling are most severe. You can use cold compresses to cause local blood vessels to contract, control bleeding from small blood vessels, and reduce pain from larger lumps, thereby achieving the effect of reducing swelling.

Try not to wear makeup on your eyes after surgery

It is best not to wear eye makeup within 7 days after surgery. Most cosmetics contain chemical agents, which may cause infection on the wound and are harmful rather than beneficial to eye recovery.

You can use a high pillow when sleeping after surgery

Using a high pillow can effectively prevent water from accumulating around the eyes and help reduce swelling quickly.

Apply repair agent after surgery

The restorative agent prescribed by the doctor must be applied as prescribed. The restorative agent has the function of fixing color and helping wounds recover quickly, and can help the eyes return to normal quickly.
