What should I do if my double eyelids become enlarged?

After having a single or double eyelid surgery, you must prevent scar proliferation, which will lead to the failure of the double eyelid surgery. There are many reasons for scar proliferation, which are related to personal constitution and poor care after the operation. When scar proliferation occurs, you can use some topical medications for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the scar is more serious, interventional treatment can also be used. In addition, do not wear makeup when proliferation occurs.

I had double eyelid surgery and it was too big. I applied topical medication according to the doctor.

It is normal for girls to have scars on their eyes for a period of time after double eyelid surgery. Taking full-cut double eyelid surgery as an example, it takes an average of about one year for the patient's eyes to fully recover to natural skin. The scar hyperplasia period is 1-6 months after the double eyelid surgery. Therefore, do not take it lightly after having double eyelid surgery. You should pay close attention to the formation of your double eyelids after the surgery, keep in touch with your doctor, and go for follow-up check-ups at any time. If you find that your upper eyelid is locally swollen, hardened, and congested, and thickened and hardened after double eyelid surgery, then you should be careful whether it is a sign of scar hyperplasia. When girls first discover the growth of eyelid scars, they should cooperate with the doctor who performed the double eyelid surgery, Venus, for a check-up. They can also ask the plastic surgeon to prescribe some effective topical medications to combat the growth of double eyelid scars.

Double eyelid surgery causes hyperplasia, so choose interventional treatment carefully

In fact, there are many solutions in clinical medicine for the hyperplasia of double eyelid scars, such as laser, grinding, filling and other methods to eliminate the hyperplasia of scars caused by double eyelid surgery. Girls, don’t worry if you find scars after double eyelid surgery, because this is not evidence of failure. It is normal for scars to grow for 1-6 months. When communicating with the doctor who performed the double eyelid surgery, try not to choose interventional treatments to eliminate hyperplastic scars. Because invasive scar repair may cause secondary damage to eye scars, making the eye scar problem more prominent. Therefore, you can usually apply topical medications during the 1-6 months that the scars form. If you are impatient and have the conditions, you can consider using laser to remove the hyperplasia of scars after double eyelid surgery.

I can't wear makeup after double eyelid surgery.

If there is really a problem of scar hyperplasia after double eyelid surgery, it is inseparable from the skills of the double eyelid surgery doctor and the girls' own care. If you feel that the area where you had double eyelid surgery becomes harder and has red lines, then try to avoid wearing makeup in your daily life. Also avoid using sunscreen and anti-wrinkle cosmetics containing heavy metals such as mercury. This is because cosmetics may aggravate the proliferation of incision scars, which is even worse for girls with prone to scars. If girls have to wear makeup because of work, they should find a solution as soon as possible according to the different scars formed by double eyelid surgery, but they are not allowed to wear makeup until the problem is solved.

Keep your eyelids clean and dry after double eyelid surgery

Girls will not return to normal double eyelid appearance immediately after double eyelid surgery. It is normal to have slight scars within 1-6 months. However, during this period, in order to reduce the scars, you must pay attention to cleaning the wounds. If the wounds are not clean, it is easy to get infected, leading to the formation of new scars. Therefore, you should avoid getting wet in the rain when having double eyelid surgery. Rainwater is very unclean and if it wets the wound, it can easily deepen the scar. If girls have just had double eyelid surgery and there are blood scabs or secretions on the wound, they can wipe it with sterile saline or medical alcohol to reduce bacterial invasion and prevent the scar from getting worse.

Avoid sun exposure after double eyelid surgery

Girls who want to whiten their skin usually pay great attention to sun protection. They need to be more careful after having double eyelid surgery. They must not let the double eyelid surgery be harmed by ultraviolet rays again. This is because ultraviolet radiation will increase the free radicals in the skin and increase melanin deposition, causing the skin to darken. If the eyes after double eyelid surgery are exposed to the sun for a long time before the scars have completely faded, the skin color will become darker and the scars will become more severe. In other words, after having double eyelid surgery, girls are best to wear glasses and a hat when going out.
