How to recover quickly after double eyelid surgery

Postoperative dressing

Generally speaking, eye swelling is more obvious three days after double eyelid surgery. In most cases, the swelling will basically subside two weeks after double eyelid surgery, and it will become more and more natural. After double eyelid surgery, dressings are generally required, but it will not affect vision. The patient should try hard to open his eyes, and the eyes will be beautiful after recovery.

Don't wear makeup for six months

The period when women cannot have double eyelid surgery

Menstrual period

Because the swelling of buried suture double eyelid surgery can go down in three days, many people who want to be beautiful want to use the three-day or seven-day public holiday to have double eyelid surgery. However, some women happen to have their menstruation during the holiday and don’t know whether they can still have double eyelid surgery. In this regard, experts recommend that women should not have double eyelid surgery during menstruation, and general surgery should be avoided during the menstrual period.

Under normal circumstances, a blood clot should form quickly after cosmetic surgery. However, during menstruation, the pro-activator of plasminogen in the blood of women increases to a maximum value, which can destroy the blood clot after cosmetic surgery and cause bleeding or prolonged bleeding, which can cause wound infection when bacteria invade. Women's immunity and anti-infection ability will also decrease during menstruation, so double eyelid surgery, especially double eyelid surgery, is not conducive to recovery.

Pregnancy

Women all love beauty, and pregnant women are no exception. So can women have double eyelids during pregnancy? Experts believe that women should try not to have double eyelids during pregnancy, because medication or various surgical operations during pregnancy can easily affect the normal development of the fetus. If the wound becomes inflamed after double eyelid surgery, antibiotics and other drugs need to be taken. Antibiotics may affect the normal development of the fetus. And local anesthesia is required before double eyelid surgery. Any stimulation may have a bad effect on the baby, so it is recommended to wait until after the breastfeeding period before treatment.

Lactation

Some women want to use maternity leave to get double eyelids. Maternity leave is long and can be restored to a very natural appearance after three months. Experts believe that whether double eyelids can be done during breastfeeding is related to one's physical condition. Theoretically, it should be done six months after giving birth. If you have just given birth, do not have the surgery immediately. Three months after giving birth, you can decide whether to have double eyelid surgery based on your own recovery and under the doctor's advice.

Factors affecting double eyelid recovery time

Related to personal physique

How long it takes to recover from double eyelid surgery depends on the individual's physical condition. Some people have strong resistance to bacteria and good physical fitness, so they will recover faster. Some people are easily infected with bacteria and have poor physical fitness, so the recovery from double eyelid surgery will be slower. If you have a scar-prone body, the recovery will be slower. How long it takes to recover from double eyelid surgery depends on the individual and cannot be generalized.

Related to postoperative care

Double eyelid surgery is an eye plastic surgery. After the surgery, careful care is required to achieve the best results. If you do not pay attention to the postoperative care of double eyelid surgery, it may cause unnecessary troubles such as bacterial infection, which will delay the recovery time of the surgery. After double eyelid surgery, pay attention to keeping the wound clean, prevent infection, rest quietly, be careful not to get the wound wet, and strengthen the movement of the eye muscles.

Closely related to surgical method

The swelling will basically subside in about 15-20 days, and the incision will basically recover in about three months. It will take about half a year to fully recover.

Recovery time for different double eyelid surgeries

Recovery time for buried suture double eyelid surgery

Expert introduction: Buried suture double eyelid surgery is to make two to four small holes (each hole no larger than 2mm) at the crease where you want the double eyelid. The doctor will use professional sutures to create double eyelids for the patient using the single-ring method or the triple-ring method.

The "restorative" nature of this surgery is the same as the Korean double eyelid method, which means that if the patient is not satisfied or adapted to the effect of the double eyelid, the doctor only needs to remove the stitches to restore it to its original state.

Recovery time: The swelling will subside in about one month after the operation, and full recovery will take about three months. If "dot scars" appear, it will take six months to disappear.

Maintenance time: From 1 year to several decades, depending on the individual.

Korean double eyelid surgery recovery time

Experts explain: Korean double eyelids use surgical sutures (non-dissolving) to penetrate the conjunctiva where double eyelids are needed, then pass through the eyelids, tie a knot and bury the knot under the skin. Generally, three stitches are needed, so it is also called the "Korean three-point method". The advantages are short operation time, fast recovery period, and multiple sutures (unlike double eyelid surgery, there is no turning back if the surgery is damaged). Of course, the disadvantage is that double eyelids disappear easily, and loose excess eyelids cannot be removed. Friends with thick eyelid fat are not suitable for sutures.

Recovery time: You can basically put on eye makeup two days after the surgery. The recovery period is not long. The effect will be very natural after three months. You may see a raised spot similar to "acne" on your eyelids when you close your eyes (this is from the stitches), and the stitches will be almost invisible after six months. Of course, it depends on your personal physique.

Duration: Can last from several years to several decades.

Recovery time for double eyelid surgery

Experts explain: Full-cut double eyelid surgery is to make an incision in the skin at the appropriate position of the upper eyelid, remove excess skin and fat, and then suture the face-lifting muscles and eyelids with non-absorbable sutures to form double eyelid wrinkles. It is suitable for people with sagging eyelids, fat hypertrophy or puffy eyes who need to significantly correct their eyelids.

Recovery time: The recovery time for full-cut double eyelid surgery is relatively long. It basically takes three to six months to become more natural. After the operation, you should use ice compresses more often to reduce the troubles of congestion and swelling.

Duration: Long-term.

The reason why you can't have double eyelid surgery during breastfeeding

1. If a breastfeeding woman has double eyelid surgery, not only will her own recovery be slow, but it will also have a certain impact on the baby. It is recommended that mothers must be cautious and wait until the child is older and her body has recovered almost completely before doing it.

2. Women are forbidden to have double eyelid surgery during pregnancy, lactation and menstruation, because women's bodies are very weak at this time and their immunity is very low. They will not recover quickly after double eyelid surgery, which will have a bad effect on the surgery.

3. Women’s immunity is generally not at its best during the breastfeeding period, so this is not a good time to have double eyelid surgery. They need to take good care of their bodies at this time.

Breastfeeding mothers must pay attention that double eyelid surgery is not allowed during breastfeeding. Other plastic surgeries are not impossible. Both will have some impact on your own and your child's health. The important thing is to recover from childbirth and make sure to get a good rest.
