Can I have double eyelids during menstruation?

You cannot have double eyelid surgery during menstruation.

Double eyelid surgery is not an ordinary minor operation. The principle of the operation is to use traumatic or invasive medical technology to perform plastic surgery on the human eye. Women should not undergo this type of surgery during menstruation.

What to do if double eyelid surgery fails

The standards for perfect and beautiful eyes have the following characteristics: the double eyelid line is obvious and smooth, the width is moderate, the eyes are large and bright; it conforms to the "three courts and five eyes", and the distance between the two eyes is equal to the length of one eye; the distance between the inner corners of the eyes is one-third of the distance between the outer corners of the eyes, the distance between the two outer corners of the eyes and the side edge of the face is 19~24 mm, and the distance between the upper eyelid edge and the eyebrow is about 10 mm; the upper and lower diameters of the palpebral fissure are 10~12.5 mm, the left and right diameters of the palpebral fissure are 30~34 mm, the corneal exposure rate is 80%, and the corneal diameter is 12~13.6 mm; the inner canthus palpebral fissure angle is 48~55°, and the outer canthus palpebral fissure angle is 60~70°.

If the following situations occur, it means that the double eyelid surgery has failed. The following 6 situations require double eyelid repair:

1. Double eyelids are too wide:

The incision is redesigned 3-6 months after the operation to separate the adhesions formed by the first operation. The other steps are the same as double eyelid surgery.

2. Double eyelids are too low:

The incision line is moved up to make a new incision, and then peeled downward to make the new and old incisions become a whole, and then the double eyelid suture is performed.

3. Asymmetric double eyelids:

Generally, 3-6 months after the operation, when the swelling of the upper eyelid has completely subsided, another surgery is performed to repair the double eyelid.

4. Double eyelids disappear:

If the double eyelids disappear, wait until the swelling of the eyes subsides, and the buried suture double eyelid surgery is changed to incisional double eyelid surgery. The incision is made through the original incision, and enough subcutaneous tissue and orbicularis oculi muscle are removed. When suturing, the skin is close to the tarsal plate or eyelid muscle tissue. The patient is asked to open his eyes and observe during the operation until a satisfactory double eyelid is achieved.

5. Poor curvature of double eyelids:

After the swelling of the eyes subsides, the double eyelid line is redesigned according to the natural folds. If the double eyelid suture repair fails, it needs to be redone by incision.

6. Triple eyelid formation:

After the swelling in the eye subsides, cut open the original incision, remove the excess skin, and the wrinkle above will disappear.

The eyes are undoubtedly one of the most important parts of the human body. If the double eyelid surgery fails, repair surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Of course, the best preventive measure is to choose a regular hospital before deciding to have double eyelid surgery to minimize the risk of surgical failure.

The harm of double eyelid surgery during menstruation to the body

Under normal circumstances, blood clots will form quickly on the wound after plastic surgery. When women are menstruating, the precursor activators of plasminogen in their blood increase to the maximum value, which will destroy the blood clots in the surgical wound and cause bleeding, or prolong the bleeding time. In addition, it may also allow bacteria to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause wound infection.

How long after menstruation can I get double eyelids?

There are fibrin with coagulation effect and plasminogen precursor activator with hemolysis effect in human blood. Only when these two substances are kept in balance can the blood flow normally. During menstruation, the amount of precursor activators in women's blood and uterus increases greatly, which can cause periodic uterine bleeding. In order to prevent wound infection after double eyelid surgery, it is recommended to perform the surgery three days after the menstruation stops.
