Double eyelid surgery scar hyperplasia period

Eyes are the most eye-catching part of the human face. From an aesthetic point of view, it is very beautiful to have bright eyes. From the perspective of plastic surgery, double eyelid surgery often has a finishing touch effect on those with single eyelids. Having a pair of beautiful and charming eyes is the dream of many people who love beauty, so many women with single eyelids want to have double eyelids. Here are some things you need to pay attention to when repairing scars.

What is double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is one of the more common surgeries in plastic surgery. Generally speaking, double eyelids visually increase the outline of the eyes, add a three-dimensional sense to the eyes, make the eyes appear larger, and make the eyelashes curl upward, giving people a vivid and expressive feeling. Single eyelids have thicker eyelids and droopy eyelashes, which make the eyes appear smaller, dull and lifeless. In addition, single eyelids are more common among Oriental people, so more people who pursue beauty undergo double eyelid surgery.

Since double eyelid surgery is a surgical process, how can we prevent scars after the surgery?

1. Pay attention to strengthening the exercise of eye muscles: Double eyelid surgery generally requires covering the incision for one day. The covering gauze should be removed on the second day after the operation, and eye-opening exercises should be performed as soon as possible. Only by continuously strengthening the exercise of opening your eyes wide can you promote blood circulation in the eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate swelling in the surgical area, and promote the early absorption of surgical blood stasis.

2. Prevent scar hyperplasia at the surgical site: Some people still use anti-wrinkle sunscreen products containing heavy metals such as mercury after double eyelid surgery. These cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals may aggravate the proliferation of scars caused by double eyelid surgery incisions. If you are a person with a scar-prone constitution, it will make the situation even worse. Therefore, the three to six months after double eyelid surgery is the proliferation period of surgical scars. During this period, you must not use cosmetics and skin care products containing heavy metals.

3. Pay attention to moisturizing and softening the eyelid tissue: For many people, the incisions from double eyelid surgery have completely recovered to normal, but the surgery area still feels tight, which makes them feel stiff and looks awkward to others. In fact, this phenomenon is a normal phenomenon after double eyelid surgery. As long as you do a good job of local moisturizing and softening, the feeling of tightness will be alleviated accordingly. Therefore, after the incision of double eyelid surgery heals, you can use some skin care cosmetics produced by regular manufacturers that moisturize, soften tissues and do not contain heavy metals.

What are the principles to follow if scars occur after double eyelid surgery?

1. Carefully analyze the reasons for the failure of the previous operation. Redesign the double eyelid incision line and try to remove all the original incision scars.

2. Remove all scars before the tarsal plate and fully separate the adhesion between the muscle and the anterior tarsal aponeurosis. The arc is smooth and natural during suturing, and the anterior tarsal aponeurosis is firmly fixed.

3. If too much orbital fat was removed in the previous surgery, the medial fat can be released, or the lower eyelid orbital fat can be freely transplanted, or autologous fat can be injected in several times. During surgery, we must be gentle and minimally invasive to shorten the recovery period and reduce scar hyperplasia.
