In addition, your scar may cause a certain percentage of traction on the eye (upper eyelid).

When surgical injuries need to be sutured under a microscope, the first thing to understand is that its purpose is not to prevent scars on the skin. It is mainly because trauma causes damage to blood vessels and nerves, and the magnification through a microscope helps doctors perform sutures. Its purpose is primarily to restore limb function rather than to prevent scarring. How to prevent scarring? You can choose to use external growth factor gel combined with compound heparin sodium cream for treatment. If necessary, you can also choose to take vitamin E orally. Oral vitamin E can effectively improve symptoms and prevent scarring. The most important point is that when suturing, you can actually choose to go to the cosmetology department or ask a cosmetologist for consultation and suturing when suturing the epidermis.
