How to prevent eyelid hyperplasia after double eyelid surgery

Although the technology for double eyelid surgery is becoming more and more advanced and the harm caused by the surgery is becoming smaller and smaller, it is still a minor operation after all. Therefore, during the recovery period after the surgery, you must take good care of your eyelids, adjust your lifestyle, pay more attention to rest, and not overuse your eyes. Also pay attention to changing your eating habits.

Don't eat some irritating foods, which will help prevent hyperplasia.

How to prevent double eyelid hyperplasia

(1) Pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound after surgery.

If the wound is not clean after surgery, it is easy to get infected and form scars, so do not wet the wound when washing your face after surgery. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline or medical alcohol;

(2) Pay attention to moisturizing and softening the eyelid tissue.

Many people still feel tightness after recovering from double eyelid surgery, which looks very awkward. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon. As long as the area is moisturized and softened, the tightness will be alleviated and will disappear over time, returning to its natural state.

(3) Pay attention to strengthening eye muscle exercises.

After double eyelid surgery, the incision usually needs to be covered for one day. The gauze can be removed on the next day. Doing eye-opening exercises as soon as possible can promote blood circulation in the tissues around the eyes, reduce or eliminate swelling at the incision site, and return to normal as soon as possible.

(4) Pay attention to prevent the proliferation of scars in the double eyelid area.

After the operation, the patient should avoid using sunscreen and anti-wrinkle cosmetics containing heavy metals such as mercury, because these cosmetics may aggravate the proliferation of incision scars, which will be even worse for those who are prone to scars.

Can double eyelid hyperplasia disappear?

Generally speaking, if scar hyperplasia is not very severe, there is no need to treat it. Generally, scar hyperplasia will be reduced and flattened after half a year. If you feel that the scar hyperplasia is obviously serious, go to the previous hospital to see the doctor for a reexamination. The doctor can give you an injectable drug to inhibit scar hyperplasia as an auxiliary treatment. You can buy an elastic wrist guard and wear it on the skin graft. 24-hour compression will reduce scar hyperplasia.

Scar hyperplasia, also known as keloid, is caused by excessive proliferation of fibrous connective tissue. Keloids are tumor-like proliferative swellings on the skin surface that are smooth, ruddy and shiny in color, and often contain dilated capillaries. This growth cannot disappear on its own and requires treatment.
