What are the precautions before double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is a very popular surgery in modern medical cosmetology. It can help people with single eyelids to completely turn their single eyelids into double eyelids, thereby improving their image. However, double eyelid surgery is a surgical method that has a great impact on people's bodies and may have side effects. Therefore, you need to pay attention to some preoperative matters. Let's take a look at what are the precautions before double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is also known as incisional blepharoplasty, which is a permanent blepharoplasty. Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that involves removing loose skin, orbicularis oculi muscle and hypertrophic fat through an incision, and then suturing the skin to the orbicularis oculi muscle or levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis under direct vision to form a double eyelid.

Double eyelid surgery requires skin incision, which is slightly traumatic, but the upper eyelid structure can be adjusted through the incision. The effect is reliable and long-lasting, and it is suitable for single eyelids in various situations. Common double eyelid surgeries include buried suture method, precision sculpted eyelash lift double eyelid, traceless eyelash lift double eyelid, traceless double eyelid surgery, Korean double eyelid, etc.

Preoperative:

1. Patients with conjunctivitis, blepharitis, or severe trachoma must be cured before surgery. Patients with inflammation around the eyes should postpone surgery.

2. Patients with a history of bleeding tendency should have their platelets and bleeding and clotting times checked.

3. Elderly patients need to measure blood pressure and do electrocardiogram when necessary. If there are mild abnormalities, symptomatic medication should be used before Korean eye bag removal surgery.

4. Postpone surgery in the early or late stages of pregnancy and avoid the menstrual period.

5. Do not take anticoagulants such as aspirin for a period of time before surgery.

After surgery:

1. Congestion and edema around the eyes are common after surgery. Local cold compress can reduce the degree of congestion and edema and help the edema subside.

2. After undergoing double eyelid surgery or eyelid bag surgery, do not be afraid to open your eyes because of the pain. Closing your eyes and resting is not conducive to the formation of double eyelids and the reduction of swelling.

3. Keep the surgical site clean and dry after surgery to prevent infection from leaving scars.

4. When removing the gauze after surgery, ask a doctor to do it. Do not remove it on your own to avoid tearing the wound.

5. Follow the doctor's advice and avoid eating spicy food, too salty food, some seafood and other irritating foods.
