Will the inner canthus opening make the eyes bigger? The recovery process of the inner canthus opening

Eye plastic surgery is very popular and loved by everyone. Many people will open their eyes at the same time when they go for double eyelid surgery. Canthoplasty is a very common plastic surgery. Canthoplasty can change the shape and size of the eyes.

The eyes will become bigger when the inner canthus is opened, but it is generally only suitable for people with severe epicanthus or those with deformities in the adjacent parts. Generally, simple mild epicanthus without discomfort does not require special treatment.

One month recovery after inner canthus opening

One month after the inner canthus surgery, the girl said that her inner canthus had basically recovered. She simply applied some foundation and went out for a date with her bestie. Her bestie also said that the inner canthus surgery she did was very natural. You can compare it with the girl's appearance before and after the inner canthus surgery, and there is still a big difference.

Canthoplasty recovery on the same day

This is the day of the canthoplasty surgery. The wound from the canthoplasty is quite severe and there is some bruising on both eyelids. The doctor told me to apply ice compress every 2 hours after I get home to reduce the swelling after the surgery.

Recovery after canthoplasty on the third day

On the third day, I went running in the afternoon, wearing sunglasses because I thought my eyes were fine. I ran more than 3 kilometers every day for the next few days. Just be careful not to let sweat flow into your eyes. I may not sweat much, so everything is fine. If you are a girl who likes to sweat, don't try it.

Recovery after 4 days of canthoplasty

I went back to work on the fourth day of the holiday, wearing black-framed glasses. No one would have noticed if no one hadn't said anything. I even made plans to meet up with friends, and I didn't care about my glasses at all.

Recovery after 5 days of canthoplasty

On the fifth day, my friend said that I recovered well. I didn't look like I had just had surgery. I recovered better than those who had had surgery for more than a month. Maybe I listened to the doctor more and paid more attention to my care after the surgery.

Recovery after 6 days of canthoplasty

On the sixth and seventh days, I basically didn't wear glasses. On the seventh day, I went to remove the eyeliner early in the morning. To be honest, it was a little painful, but it was bearable, much better than when I was anesthetized. The doctor who performed the surgery on me said that I recovered very well.

Recovery after 7 days of canthoplasty

On the seventh day, I had already gone out to play, put on light makeup, and used a non-foaming facial cleanser to wash my face. I felt so happy.

Recovery after 8 days of canthoplasty

To sum up, the reason why I have achieved the current effect after the inner canthus opening surgery is closely related to the nursing work after the surgery. In order to recover faster, I put my pillow very high every night when I sleep, and never drink water two hours before going to bed. In the few days before the stitches were removed, my diet mainly consisted of fruits and high-protein foods. The initial recovery period of the inner canthus opening surgery is one month, so you should pay more attention to the nursing care during the recovery period.

Why does the inner canthus opening make the eyes bigger?

The reason why the eyes look bigger after the epicanthus surgery is mainly because the epicanthus surgery needs to remove the epicanthus covering the eyes. Therefore, after removing the epicanthus, the eyes will have the effect of being enlarged. The so-called epicanthus is a layer of tissue structure unique to the eyes of Oriental people, also known as Mongolian folds. If the degree is more serious, it will affect the beauty of the eyes. Therefore, people with moderate or severe epicanthus will have their eyes enlarged after the epicanthus surgery.

How to reduce scars after epicanthoplasty

1. Avoid scratching in the early stages of recovery because there is some dust and clothing fibers on our hands. If these substances enter the incision, the scar will become more serious.

2. During the scar recovery period, you should not eat spicy food, such as peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, mutton, seafood, etc., because spicy food can easily make the body sweat, causing the wound to be easily soaked by sweat and infected. In addition, mutton and seafood are foods that are prone to allergies. Once eaten, it is easy to cause skin allergies, which further affects the scar.

3. During the recovery period, you need to reduce going out, because the protection provided by sunscreen at this time may not be enough to offset the damage caused by chemical sunscreens entering the skin directly from the wound. If you must go out, try to use physical sunscreen (hats, parasols) and pure physical sunscreen (iron dioxide and zinc oxide). Because the ultraviolet rays outdoors can cause pigmentation on scars, affecting their appearance.

4. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, which can supplement vitamins and trace elements for the body and promote wound healing.

5. Keep the surgical site clean and do not allow it to get wet within 7 days to prevent wound infection and worsening of scars.

6. Do not wear eye makeup within 3 months after the epicanthoplasty surgery, because many cosmetics contain lead and mercury, which will aggravate the scar if they fall into the incision.
