Can wide double eyelids be repaired with surgery?

Many people have irregular double eyelids with different widths, thicknesses, and sizes, which require surgical repair. However, double eyelid surgery requires cutting after all, which can damage the skin. Before the operation, you must pay attention to not taking anti-inflammatory or cold medicines before. During the operation, carefully analyze what caused the irregular double eyelids, find a solution, and choose a regular hospital. All of these must be done well to ensure that the double eyelid repair can be complete.

Principles of Reconstructive Surgery

1. Carefully analyze the reasons for the failure of the previous operation.

2. Redesign the double eyelid incision line and try to remove all the original incision scars.

3. Remove all scars before the tarsal plate and fully separate the adhesion between the muscle and the anterior tarsal aponeurosis.

4. The arc is smooth and natural during suturing, and the anterior tarsal aponeurosis is firmly fixed.

5. 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.

6. During surgery, you should take good care of the tissue, be gentle and minimally invasive, shorten the recovery period and reduce scar hyperplasia.

The best time to repair double eyelids

Except for cases with severe poor eyelid closure, corrective surgery should be considered for other patients six months to one year after the operation and after the scar has softened. If surgery is performed before the scar softens, the tissue is more fragile and prone to tearing, leading to scar formation, which will affect the surgical outcome.

Double eyelid repair can be done at any time regardless of the season, as long as you choose a good hospital and doctor.

Preparation before repair

1. Carefully analyze the reasons for the failure of the previous operation.

2. Redesign the double eyelid incision line and try to remove all the original incision scars.

3. The doctor will check whether the patient meets the surgical requirements. If the patient has contraindications to double eyelid surgery, the surgery cannot be performed. Communicate fully with your doctor about the postoperative effects.

4. Two weeks before the operation, you should refrain from smoking, drinking, oral administration of aspirin or drugs containing aspirin, Chinese patent medicines with blood-activating function, etc.

5. Try to understand the risks and possible complications of the surgery, and be mentally prepared if these complications occur.

6. Prepare sunglasses (to cover scars), ice packs (to apply ice to wounds after surgery) and other items before surgery.

7. Women should avoid surgery during menstruation and pregnancy.

8. Do not wear makeup before the operation.
