Causes of scars after double eyelid surgery

After double eyelid surgery, the most feared problem is the occurrence of scar hyperplasia, because scar hyperplasia will lead to failure of the operation and make the double eyelids become particularly ugly. There are many reasons for scar hyperplasia, the most common of which is scar-prone constitution. For such people, it is best not to undergo double eyelid surgery. Of course, it is also related to the doctor's plastic surgery technology and postoperative care.

Causes of scars after double eyelid surgery

1. It is related to the patient's physical condition (whether the patient has a scar-prone constitution)

The proportion of people with scar-prone physique is extremely small in the population. Even small injuries will leave scars for them. The specific manifestation is that the surface scars continue to increase after the wound heals, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes local pain, redness and itching. For those who are born with scars, they must communicate with the doctor before the operation to facilitate the doctor to formulate a good surgical plan.

2. It is related to the plastic surgery technique of the surgeon

Although double eyelid surgery is popular, due to the fragility and sensitivity of the eye skin, it is a relatively delicate and precise surgery among plastic surgeries. A slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake. Regular hospitals can provide adequate guarantees in terms of technology, equipment, etc. Before the operation, the doctor will also specify a suitable surgical plan for the patient from a professional perspective and try to use appropriate means to prevent scar hyperplasia.

3. It is related to the details of personal postoperative eye care

The scar hyperplasia period lasts from 1 to 6 months after double eyelid surgery. The doctor will explain the precautions to the patient, such as not getting exposed to water, not wearing makeup, the disinfection time, and foods to avoid, etc. The patient must complete all the instructions on time. Also, you need to keep calm and wait patiently for recovery. Postoperative care is very important and should not be ignored.

Will eye surgery scars fade away?

The most painful period is about one month after the epicanthoplasty. The scar on the inner canthus will be noticeably raised, hard to the touch, and may feel itchy.

About three months after the operation, the scars will gradually fade and soften, while some will form pathological scars and continue to proliferate.

Scar doctors say that scars left after double eyelid surgery can be repaired. But there is one thing patients should be aware of: most scars left after double eyelid surgery are hypertrophic scars. These scars are formed due to excessive proliferation of collagen fiber connective tissue. To cure hypertrophic scars, it is necessary to fundamentally cut off the proliferation pathway of the scar connective fiber tissue.

Compared with laser, surgery, skin grafting, grinding and other therapies, the "ion targeted multi-dimensional comprehensive scar removal system" integrates more than ten scar repair technologies that are widely used in clinical practice. When repairing double eyelid hypertrophic scars, it mainly ablates scar tissue cells, activates the body's own cell regeneration ability, reaches the lesion directly, and treats scars from the root.

Warm reminder: Scar experts remind friends that before undergoing eye cosmetic surgery, they must make sure that they do not have a scar-prone constitution. People with a scar-prone constitution are not recommended to undergo double eyelid surgery or canthoplasty. If the scar does not subside for a long time after surgery or even starts to grow, you must consult a doctor in time to diagnose whether it is normal, so as not to miss the best treatment time and increase the difficulty of scar treatment.
