When is the best time to have double eyelid surgery? Eight signs of failed double eyelid surgery

Double eyelid surgery is a very common plastic surgery method in our daily life. It is not only very popular among female friends, but also many male friends will do it. So when is the best time to do double eyelid surgery? Eight manifestations of double eyelid failure.

When is the best time to have double eyelid surgery?

The temperature is high in summer and the body is prone to sweating. The chance of sweat infection caused by double eyelid surgery is relatively high.

If you want to have double eyelid surgery, it is best not to do it in the summer. The hot and humid weather in the summer can easily cause skin infections and have adverse effects on wound healing. Therefore, it is best to wait until the weather cools down before doing it, which is safer.

It is usually recommended to do it in spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable and the climate is relatively cool and dry, which is more suitable for postoperative recovery.

In terms of season, as long as there are no contraindications, double eyelid surgery can be performed all year round, as long as you follow the doctor's instructions before and after the operation to ensure that surgical complications do not occur.

Eight manifestations of failed double eyelid surgery

Asymmetric double eyelids

Asymmetric double eyelids are mostly caused by unreasonable curvature design before double eyelid surgery and the doctor's imprecise operation during the operation.

How to repair: In this case, the eyelid on the side with poor effect is usually redesigned and a second operation is performed.

Double eyelid disappearance

After double eyelid surgery, some people may have less obvious double eyelids or even no double eyelids at all. This is mainly because the incorrect method of double eyelid surgery is chosen.

How to repair: In this case, you generally need to choose a new double eyelid surgery method. After the swelling subsides, the original incision is opened again, and the appropriate amount of subcutaneous tissue and orbicularis oculi muscle are removed. Then observe the effect after the operation. If the previous incision method is not ideal, you can use buried thread reshaping.

Double eyelids are too thick

Thick double eyelids are usually caused by the double eyelids being too wide for the entire face and too much fat being removed from the eyelids.

How to repair: In this case, the incision must be redesigned and the original incision removed to achieve the best effect.

Eyelids are too thin

Too thin double eyelids are also a common failure for many people who undergo double eyelid surgery. This is mostly because the width of the double eyelids is too narrow and inconsistent, and preoperative design and incorrect suture can cause this problem.

How to repair: In this case, it is generally necessary to re-incise the wound, fully peel off the skin below the original double eyelid line, remove the orbicularis oculi muscle and pre-tarsal tissue in front of the tarsal plate, and use the elasticity of the upper eyelid skin to lift and suture the incision.

Forming triple eyelids

One symptom of a failed double eyelid surgery is the appearance of triple eyelids or multiple eyelids. This is mostly because the double eyelid line is not designed according to the arc, resulting in uneven skin peeling between the double eyelid line and the eyelid margin or due to misplaced sutures.

How to repair: In this case, the original incision generally needs to be opened and re-peeled to loosen the wrinkles and help eliminate excess folds.

Difficulty opening the eyelids

After double eyelid surgery, it is easy to have difficulty opening the eyelids or a heavy feeling when opening the eyes, which is generally called ptosis. This situation is mostly caused by the large trauma during the operation, which causes damage to the levator muscle and tissue adhesion.

How to fix: In this case we need to perform muscle shortening surgery and release adhesions.

Lower eyelid eversion

If the double eyelid surgery is performed too roughly, the contraction function of the orbicularis oculi muscle may be affected or even lost, which may easily lead to ectropion of the lower eyelid.

How to repair: If the condition is mild, you can improve it by doing local massage or injecting glucocorticoids, and it will recover in about a few months. If it is more serious, it will require correction, cutting and suturing, etc.

Subcutaneous nodular sensation

After double eyelid surgery, you may also feel subcutaneous nodules, and you may feel unevenness when you touch the skin around your eyes. This is mostly because the sutures for double eyelid surgery are too shallow or are rejected.

How to repair: In this case, if the thread is too shallow, you can just remove it. If the thread is too deep, you need to cut it open surgically before removing it.

The reason why minors cannot have double eyelid surgery

There are two reasons:

1. The age for double eyelid surgery should not be too early, because minors are usually still in the developmental stage, and the eyelids may still change thereafter. Many people will have double eyelids instead of single eyelids after adulthood.

2. Psychological problems of minors. Even though double eyelid surgery is a very simple operation, there are still risks during the operation. Some minors are too young to face the consequences of the operation, which often leads to many regrets. In addition, during the double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to open and close the eyes repeatedly under local anesthesia according to the doctor's instructions. If the child is too young and is afraid of injections, it is rare for him to have sufficient psychological literacy to bear the double eyelid surgery process.

How to avoid double eyelid surgery failure

The best way to avoid failure after double eyelid surgery is to choose a regular and qualified hospital and let a doctor with rich clinical experience perform the surgery. You should also fully communicate with the doctor about your own situation before the surgery, including your own needs and whether you have any eye diseases. After the surgery, pay more attention to care and communicate with the doctor in time if you feel any discomfort or other situations.
