Double eyelid surgery still swollen after two months

The saying that eyes are the windows to the soul is absolutely true, but beautiful eyes also need the contrast of eyelids to look beautiful. Double eyelids are generally more popular than single eyelids. Even single eyelids can be cut into double eyelids through surgery, which is a very small cosmetic surgery. The problem is that some people still feel swollen two months after full double eyelid surgery. This requires judgment whether it is abnormal. Let's take a look at it below.

There are several stages you will go through after double eyelid surgery:

1-3 days swelling stage

The wound is slightly painful, with obvious swelling, tight eyelids and more secretions. Because of the bleeding reaction on the first day after surgery, blood scabs will appear on the double eyelid wound. You can apply ice compress and go to the hospital for dressing change on the second day. The nurse will rinse the eyes with saline and gently wipe off the blood scabs.

4-9 days fast consumption stage

The changes are quite obvious on a daily basis. The redness and bruising around the wound will gradually fade to yellow. In addition, the wound will often feel itchy. At this time, we must not touch our eyes with our hands. We can use a cotton swab dipped in a little saline solution to wipe it gently.

10-30 days of sustained consumption

The effect of the double eyelids has begun to show, but because there is still swelling, the shape and symmetry of the two eyes will be a little different. It doesn't matter as long as the difference between the two eyes is not too big after the three-month recovery period. You must maintain a good mood at this time.

31-180 days stable stage

The subcutaneous tissue of the wound heals and recovers, which is a period of scar hyperplasia. There will be redness in the area where the double eyelids are located, the tissue will be hard, and some people may even develop small lumps of flesh. At this time, you should avoid touching it with your hands. You can use scar softening cream to reduce and inhibit the occurrence of scar hyperplasia.

180-365 days forming stage

At this time, the shape of the double eyelids has been completely formed, and there will be no discomfort or symptoms. If the shape is not particularly good at this time, you can go to the hospital to communicate with the doctor for repair surgery according to the situation and personal requirements.
