Purple bruises after double eyelid surgery

In order to be beautiful, many women do not hesitate to go under the knife on their faces. Double eyelid surgery has become a common social phenomenon. However, after the surgery, some people have sensitive skin, coupled with poor hygiene. Now the weather is hot, many people's double eyelids begin to turn purple and have bruises. There is no need to worry about this phenomenon. Regular check-ups and skin care are required, and the skin will recover in a few weeks.

Double eyelid postoperative care

Bandaging

After the operation, the upper eyelid incision will be covered with sterile gauze. Appropriate pressure can effectively prevent bleeding and reduce postoperative swelling. Do not remove the gauze around your eyes by yourself; ask a professional doctor to change the dressing. Because the blood and gauze on the incision are firmly glued together, forcible tearing will tear the eye incision.

Do not get water on the wound

After double eyelid surgery, do not get the incision wet before removing the stitches (if the wound is infected, it will lose its beauty completely). Apply erythromycin eye ointment on the incision once a day with a sterile cotton swab.

Protect from light

Wear sunglasses when going out to avoid sunlight irritation to the wound, prevent scar hyperplasia, and prevent pigmentation.

Do not abuse medication for wound pain

There will be some pain in the wound on the day of surgery, but the pain is usually mild and will gradually disappear over time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, especially aspirin-type drugs which will aggravate wound bleeding.

Cold and hot compresses

Apply cold compress within 72 hours after surgery to constrict blood vessels, reduce exudation and swelling; switch to hot compress after 72 hours to speed up blood circulation, promote reflux, and accelerate the absorption of blood stasis.

Do more eye exercises

After the operation, do more exercises to keep your eyes open to promote blood circulation in the eye muscles and surrounding tissues, reduce and gradually eliminate swelling in the surgical area, and promote early absorption of surgical blood stasis.

During the recovery period, the care after double eyelid surgery includes increasing protein intake in the diet and eating more fruits and fresh vegetables.

rest

Watch less TV, read less newspapers, and play less with your mobile phone within one week after the operation. It is best to rest in a semi-recumbent position in bed to avoid excessive eye fatigue or a low head position which may aggravate the swelling of the wound.
