How to apply ice compress on double eyelids

After double eyelid surgery, the eyes will appear moderately swollen. This is a symptom of edema, which is a common postoperative symptom. Don't worry too much. You can use certain ice compresses to relieve edema. To prevent infection, you should pay more attention to your diet. Don't eat spicy and irritating foods. Get enough rest. You can use ice packs for ice compresses, but don't use them for too long.

How to apply ice compress to double eyelids:

1. After the double eyelid surgery is completed, the soft tissue under the skin will be damaged and there will be bleeding spots in the capillaries. After the operation, you should apply ice compress first, and then switch to hot compress after 3 days. The purpose of ice compress is to constrict blood vessels to prevent bleeding and excessive swelling, while the purpose of heat compress is to promote blood circulation and help reduce swelling.

2. You can use ordinary ice packs for ice compress. However, when applying ice, be sure to put a plastic bag and a piece of gauze on the ice bag to prevent water from flowing out and dripping into your eyes after the ice melts.

3. Generally, the ice compress time for double eyelid surgery is 15-20 minutes. Too long ice compress time can easily cause frostbite of local soft tissue. You can apply ice 2-3 times a day.

How to deal with swollen eyes

1. Do not listen to low-pitched music for a long time. Listening to such music will keep the body in a state of tension for a long time, making the nerves more excited and unable to relax. So when you take a break, you should try to listen to some light songs.

2. Avoid excessive light at night, as long-term exposure to light will cause tension in the body. Good sleep is the best way to eliminate edema.

3. Do not take a bath in water that is too hot, because excessively hot water will stimulate the activity of the sympathetic nerves more intensely. Also, avoid drinking caffeinated stimulant beverages after 8 p.m.

4. Close your eyes gently and apply the eye patch to the lower edge of the eyebrows and both sides of the nose. Gently smooth the eye patch to allow the eye patch to fully contact the eye skin.

5. In addition, you should try to massage the facial muscles, which can make the muscles soft, improve circulation in the body, and achieve the purpose of slimming the face.
