How long does it take to recover from eye bag surgery?

There are many ways to treat eye bags, the most common of which is surgery. After the operation, the patient must prevent infection. About a week after the operation, the swelling will gradually subside. At this time, blue spots or purple spots may appear. After 10 to 20 days, they may be completely eliminated. Of course, complete recovery may take 2 to 3 months. During these 2 to 3 months, you must emphasize nourishment to avoid problems caused by the operation.

Three advantages of laser eye bag removal

1. The treatment time is fast. Each person's situation is different, and the course of treatment required for eye bags is also different. Usually only 3-5 courses of treatment are needed to achieve ideal results. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes, which effectively shortens the recovery period and leaves no scars after the operation.

2. Little harm to human body. Laser removal of eye bags mainly involves making an incision of approximately 0.3CM on the conjunctiva on the inner side of the tarsal plate, and then removing the inner, middle and outer fat masses in an orderly manner from the incision. Finally, the laser vaporizes and shrinks the dermis. Not only is the operation time shorter than traditional eye bag removal surgery, it also causes less harm to the human body.

3. The therapeutic effect is long-lasting and significant. The unique technology of laser eye bag removal can not only solve the problem of eye bags permanently, but also has a good protective effect on the re-generation of eye bags. And when treating eye bags, it can effectively tighten and remove fine wrinkles on the eye skin, greatly improving the wrinkles on the corners of the eyes.

Precautions

(1) Design of surgical incision. It is directly related to the effectiveness of the surgery. The incision location design is closely related to the patient's requirements and the physician's aesthetic views, so the patient should have a serious discussion with the plastic surgeon before surgery to avoid disagreements after the surgery due to different understandings of the effects.

(2) Patients with scar-prone constitutions should not undergo this surgery, as it may cause scar hyperplasia and destroy the cosmetic effect.

(3) If there is an infection on the face, such as folliculitis, acne, etc., the facial skin disease should be cured before considering facial cosmetic surgery.

(4) If you have conjunctivitis in both eyes, you should first treat the eye disease and then have eye bag surgery.

(5) It is best for women not to undergo surgery during menstruation, because there will be a lot of bleeding during the operation and the local swelling will last for a long time and the reaction will be severe after the operation, which will affect the effect of the operation. Therefore, it is best to arrange the surgery 3 to 4 days after the menstruation ends.

During the operation, care must be taken not to remove too much skin and orbicularis oculi muscle, especially the anterior part of the tarsal plate of the orbicularis oculi muscle, otherwise ectropion, the most common complication, may easily occur. During the operation, attention should be paid to stop bleeding thoroughly, otherwise postoperative hematoma will occur, affecting the effect of the operation.

Generally speaking, there will be obvious eye swelling and obvious cyanotic spots around the orbit three days after the operation. The sutures were removed 5 days after surgery. The swelling will basically subside one week after the operation, but mild cyanosis or yellow spots may still remain under the skin around the eye sockets. The swelling in the surgical area will completely subside within 10 to 20 days after the operation. If there is slight separation of the eyelid from the eyeball after the operation, it will generally return to normal in 2 to 3 months without the need for another surgery. If obvious ectropion occurs, surgery will be required again 3 to 6 months after surgery.
