What should I do if my eyelids become dark after double eyelid surgery?

After having double eyelid surgery, some people will find that their eyelids have turned dark, which is very distressing. In fact, it is normal for this problem to occur within a period of time. It takes a certain amount of time to recover after double eyelid surgery, which will allow the pigmentation to gradually fade. Generally, it will gradually ease over 3 to 6 months. Strengthening care in daily life will also help improve and avoid the occurrence of dark double eyelids.

What should I do if my eyelids become dark after double eyelid surgery?

1. Recovery time of double eyelid surgery Double eyelid full incision is to make an incision on the skin at the position of the upper eyelid. After removing excess fat and skin, non-absorbable sutures are used to suture the facial muscles and eyelids to form double eyelid folds. This method is suitable for those who need drastic eyelid correction due to thick fat, sagging eyelids, etc. The recovery time for full-cut double eyelid surgery is relatively long. It basically takes three to six months to look more natural. After the surgery, you should use ice compresses more often to reduce the problems of congestion and swelling.

2. Postoperative care of double eyelids

Postoperative care for double eyelids is also very important. Remember the methods to protect yourself who loves beauty and soon develop those beautiful eyes that “can conquer a city with one glance and a country with two glances”.

1. After the operation, it is also important to comfort the injured eyelids. For example, hot compress, cold compress and other methods, I believe that friends are not particularly Qin Chu, so I will explain them to you here. Ice packs can be used for local cold compresses within the first 72 hours, especially within 3 hours after surgery, which can effectively prevent postoperative edema and relieve pain. Start local hot compress 3 days after surgery or after stitches are removed. The purpose of hot compress is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, so that the wound and scar can heal faster. Whether it is cold compress or hot compress, do not let water get on the wound. Be sure to keep it clean and dry. If the wound becomes infected, go to the hospital for examination in time and do not handle it without authorization. 2. Sleep with a high pillow. It is better to sleep with a high pillow at night, or stack two or three pillows together to keep your head high and your feet low. Before going to bed, you can cut the raw potatoes into slices or mash them and apply them to your eyes. Remove them after 15 minutes and then wash them clean. Some people even sit all the time, feeling the rotation of day and night in a sitting or lying position. But they must pay attention to safety, if they fall into the bed in drowsiness, they will regret it.

4. Rest with eyes closed VS exercise with eyes open When faced with suffering, our instinct is to close our eyes and escape, let alone having surgery on our eyelids. However, closing your eyes and resting is not conducive to the formation of double eyelids and the reduction of swelling, so we need to face it bravely. One hour after eye plastic surgery, you should open and close your eyes more often, watch TV or do other things, or work as usual. PS: Big frog-eye glasses can protect your face and make you trendy and stylish. In short, pay attention to strengthening the movement of eye muscles. 5. If you want to get better quickly, you must pay attention to your diet. It is best to eat light food and avoid spicy food. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, which is beneficial to wound repair. Eat more high-quality, high-protein foods, such as beef, chicken, fish, etc., to provide the body with repair energy.
