What should I do if my eyes become red and swollen after eyelash grafting?

In real life, eyelash grafting is a common beauty method in the beauty industry. It can make the eyes look bigger and brighter, which is very beautiful. However, after eyelash grafting, the eyes will be easily irritated and become red, swollen and inflamed. Redness and swelling of the eyes need to be treated in time. You can do some eye exercises to promote blood circulation.

Do eye exercises

You can strengthen the movement of the eye muscles and keep your eyes open to move the muscles and tissues around the eyes, which can reduce swelling at the surgical site.

Ice

You can apply ice to the wound after eyelash transplantation surgery, but be careful not to let the leaking water wet the wound to avoid infection.

Remember not to use cleaning products after eye inflammation. You only need to wash your face with warm water every day. Do not use facial cleansers, soaps, etc. to avoid irritating the affected area. If your face feels dry, you can apply an appropriate amount of baby lotion to moisturize the skin half an hour after applying the product. Do not squeeze or scratch your eyes with your hands to avoid aggravating the inflammation.

Why do eyes get inflamed after eyelash transplantation?

Improper eyelash care after transplantation

The biggest reason for inflammation after eyelash transplantation is improper postoperative care. For example, if the wounds on the eyes are infected by washing your face 5 days after the operation, or if the wounds are infected by chemicals such as makeup, both of which can cause eye inflammation.

After eyelash transplantation, because the direction of eyelash growth is difficult to control, it is very easy for the upper eyelashes to grow downwards and the lower eyelashes to grow upwards. Especially if the eyelashes grow towards the cornea and into the eye, not only will they often rub the corneal epithelium and cause a foreign body sensation, but they will also cause eye congestion, conjunctivitis, etc.
