Preventing narrowing of double eyelids after surgery

The double eyelids will basically be formed three months after recovery from the operation, but the human body will gradually age. As we age, our eyelids will become loose in middle-aged and elderly people, and the natural double eyelids will gradually become narrower. However, people's thinking is so advanced now, it is time to reflect people's wisdom. Here are some ways to prevent your double eyelids from becoming narrower after surgery.

However, it should be noted that some eyelid fat tissue needs to be removed during double eyelid surgery. But if too much fat and skin are removed, it will easily cause the eyelids to become loose, especially for people whose eyebrows and eyes are close together. The eyelids will become narrower and narrower because the brow bone and orbital bone press down over time. People who make their double eyelids wider will look fiercer, and those who make their double eyelids narrower will become inner double eyelids after a long time.

This is because the eyelids themselves are relatively loose tissues and often undergo a series of changes. After undergoing double eyelid incision surgery, there will definitely be some swelling in the early stages, and the eyelids will appear wider. As the swelling gradually subsides, they will slowly become narrower, and the actual width will be between one-half and one-third of the original width. This is a very natural situation. So generally speaking, it will take about half a year after the double eyelid surgery for the width of the double eyelids to stabilize. There will be a good effect.

The three most important factors that determine the width of double eyelids are the width of the tarsal plate, the height of the fixed double eyelid line, and the looseness of the skin.

1: The width of the tarsal plate of East Asians is narrower than that of Westerners, generally around 7 to 8 mm, so this is also the width of most double eyelid designs. If it is designed too high, it cannot be fixed on the tarsal plate at all, but on the levator fascia above the tarsal plate. This may lead to damage to the levator muscle strength and cause iatrogenic ptosis. It should be noted that the width of the tarsal plates on both sides of the same person may be different. If the width of the double eyelids is determined solely by the tarsal plates, it may also lead to bilateral asymmetry.

2: The height of the double eyelid line is when we fix the skin and soft tissue at a certain position on the upper edge of the tarsal plate during surgery to form the shape of a double eyelid. During the operation, we can adjust the width of the double eyelids by adjusting the fixed position. This is something that doctors can operate and control during surgery.

3: The degree of skin looseness has a great impact on the width of double eyelids, especially for older people and those who often use double eyelid tape. For these people, doctors should remove skin appropriately to adjust the looseness of the skin. If the skin is still loose, the width of the double eyelids will become narrower after surgery. This is also something that doctors can operate and adjust.
