Double eyelid excision is a common oculoplastic surgery that can help patients achieve a more aesthetically pleasing eye shape. However, the length of the recovery period after surgery varies from individual to individual, and generally takes about 3 months. During the recovery period, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1.First postoperative day: The surgical incision will be sutured, the eye will be swollen and painful, and the area needs to be kept clean and dry to avoid infection. At the same time, strenuous exercise and hot baths need to be avoided to avoid aggravating swelling and pain.
2.2-3 days postoperatively: The swelling and pain of the surgical incision will gradually decrease, but it is still necessary to continue to keep the area clean and dry. At the same time, ice can be applied appropriately to reduce swelling and pain.
3.4-7 days after surgery: The swelling and pain of the surgical incision will gradually disappear, but the eye area will still need to be kept clean and dry. At the same time, warm compresses can be applied appropriately to promote blood circulation and eliminate swelling.
4.8-15 days postoperatively: The swelling and pain at the surgical site have largely disappeared, but the area needs to be kept clean and dry. At the same time, proper eye movements can be performed to promote eye recovery.
5.16-30 days postoperatively: The swelling and pain at the surgical site have completely disappeared, but it is still necessary to continue to keep the area clean and dry. At the same time, proper makeup and skincare products can be applied to promote eye recovery.
It should be noted that after the double eyelid removal surgery, it is necessary to avoid the intake of irritating foods such as smoking, drinking, and spicy food, so as not to affect the effect of the surgery and the recovery period. At the same time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular check-ups in order to detect and deal with possible problems in a timely manner.
In conclusion, double eyelid excision surgery requires a certain recovery period, and patients need to pay attention to postoperative care and maintenance to promote the surgical effect and eye recovery.
