How many times can double eyelids be repaired?

Double eyelid repair is not unfamiliar to many women, especially those with single eyelids. In order to turn their eyelids into double eyelids, women will undergo double eyelid repair surgery. Of course, double eyelid repair is not 100% successful, and it is likely that a secondary repair will be needed, which will also damage people's eye skin, so prevention is necessary. How many times can double eyelids be repaired?

1. Just once

For double eyelid repair, it is recommended to only do it once, because the more times the double eyelid repair surgery is performed, the greater the failure rate, and the skin around the eye is limited. Too much repair means that more eye skin needs to be removed and damaged, so the fewer double eyelid repair surgeries, the better.

2. Repair

It is recommended that patients who are undergoing double eyelid repair surgery should first analyze the reasons for the failure of the previous double eyelid surgery, and undergo repair surgery in a professional plastic surgery medical institution. Repair surgery requires redesigning the double eyelid incision line and trying to remove all the original incision scars. Generally, double eyelid repair surgery can be performed within half a year after the first double eyelid surgery. Before doing the repair surgery, the patient must pay attention to his or her physical health, avoid taking too much antibiotics, and eat a light diet.

3. Note

When using your eyes after surgery, try to reduce reading, looking at your phone, etc. to give your eyes a rest. It is recommended to reduce eyelid activities in the first three days to facilitate tissue healing. In the later stage, you can consciously open and close your eyes and move your muscles to promote the formation of the double eyelid crease, promote lymph and blood circulation, and facilitate early recovery. Before removing the stitches after surgery, the incision must be carefully cleaned and disinfected. You can get some water, such as taking a shower or washing your face, 24 hours after the stitches are removed. It usually takes about 1-6 months for the swelling of the double eyelid to completely subside and heal naturally. The speed of recovery varies from person to person.
