How to shorten the recovery period of canthoplasty and precautions after canthoplasty repair surgery

In order to make their eyes bigger and better looking, many friends who love beauty will choose to have canthoplasty surgery. Although canthoplasty is relatively common, it is still a surgery, so postoperative care is also very important.

1. Keep it clean

After canthoplasty, you should try to keep the surgical site clean. If you need to go to the hospital for disinfection, you must go in time. After all, bacteria and dust in the air will have more or less impact on the wound. And try to avoid getting the wound wet within a week to avoid infection.

2. Reduce eye strain

In the period after the canthus opening, you should try to reduce the time of using your eyes. It is best not to watch TV, computer, books, etc., and you should also watch your mobile phone as little as possible to avoid eye fatigue. You should also raise your pillow when sleeping, otherwise the head position is too low, which can easily cause eye edema and affect the recovery of the wound.

1. Keep the wound clean to avoid infection. Applying sterile saline to the eye wound can effectively eliminate the secretions of the wound. Remember not to wipe it directly with water. Because the wound area cannot be exposed to water within one week after surgery.

Second, do not take painkillers randomly. Generally, there will be symptoms of pain in the wound area after canthoplasty repair surgery, but this pain will gradually subside and disappear, so do not take drugs randomly to relieve pain.

3. Use ice packs to cool the eyes. To prevent bleeding or redness and swelling after surgery, you can use ice packs to cool the eyes.

4. Pay attention to dietary adjustments. After surgery, patients should pay attention to their eating habits and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods. The diet should be light as much as possible, and eating more protein-rich foods, fruits and vegetables, etc., will help the wound recover.

5. Pay attention to resting your eyes. Within two weeks after the operation, try not to watch or watch less TV, surf the Internet, play with your phone, read newspapers, etc., to avoid eye fatigue and affect the recovery of the wound.

6. Rest. After the operation, the patient should rest in a quiet and comfortable place. It is best to sleep in a semi-recumbent position to avoid eye friction and infection. At the same time, remember the doctor's instructions to take medicine on time and go to the hospital for follow-up.

The recovery time of canthoplasty is related to the surgical operation. Postoperative recovery is inseparable from the standardized operation during the operation, and is generally closely related to the surgical incision and angle. If the incision is too large, it is easy to cause difficulty in healing and scar formation, pelvic congestion or poor angle, and the incision cannot be well hidden, so the surgical principles of large eyes and minimally invasive surgery should be followed. The surgical method determines the recovery time of canthoplasty. First of all, in the state of natural eye opening and level vision, determine the starting and ending points of the epicanthus, mark them with gentian violet, perform local infiltration anesthesia, let the patient close his eyes, cut the skin and orbicularis oculi along the line designed before the operation, fully free the flap, let the patient open his eyes, see the correction effect of the epicanthus, exchange the positions of the dual triangular flaps, suture them in place, and the operation is completed. At the same time, the phenomenon of hyperplasia of canthoplasty scars should not occur. Everyone's physique is different, so the recovery time will also vary. Experts remind those who love beauty that before undergoing an inner canthus opening surgery, they must first confirm whether they have a scar-prone physique. People with a scar-prone physique cannot undergo any plastic surgery, otherwise it will cause hyperplasia of the inner canthus, leaving indelible scars.

Strengthen the eye-opening movement. It is recommended to do eye-opening exercises as soon as possible after canthoplasty. Only by strengthening the eye-opening exercise from time to time can the blood circulation of the eye muscles and surrounding tissues be promoted, the swelling of the canthoplasty surgery site be reduced and gradually eliminated, and the early absorption of surgical congestion can be promoted. Do a good job of moisturizing. Pay attention to moisturizing and softening the eyelid tissue after canthoplasty. Many people's surgical wounds have completely returned to normal, but the surgical site still feels tight, which makes them feel stiff and looks awkward to others. In fact, this phenomenon is a normal phenomenon after surgery. As long as the local moisturizing and softening are done well, the tight feeling will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, after the incision of canthoplasty surgery is completely healed, you can use some skin care products or scar removal products produced by regular manufacturers to moisturize and soften the skin tissue.

1. High-protein foods

High protein is a nutrient necessary to promote wound healing. Therefore, after canthoplasty surgery, eating more eggs, meat and other high-protein foods can promote wound repair.

2. Fresh fruits and vegetables

Carrots, green leafy vegetables, oranges, lemons, cherries and other fresh fruits and vegetables generally contain a lot of vitamins and dietary fiber. Supplementing these nutrients can promote wound healing after canthus opening, maintain good blood circulation, and promptly remove waste from the body, thereby speeding up wound healing. Foods containing vitamin A can effectively protect skin health, while supplementing vitamin P can prevent vitamin C from being oxidized and destroyed, effectively enhancing the role of vitamin C, thereby preventing the occurrence of scar hyperplasia after surgery.
