Will buried suture double eyelids cause hyperplasia?

Buried suture double eyelid surgery is a type of double eyelid surgery that many people choose. This is mainly because buried suture double eyelid surgery is relatively safe and the wound is small. However, if the operation is improper, it will also cause scar hyperplasia on the eyelids. So, what causes scar hyperplasia after double eyelid surgery? This will be introduced below!

1. What are the manifestations of double eyelid scar hyperplasia?

Scar hyperplasia, also known as keloid, is caused by excessive proliferation of fibrous connective tissue. It is red and shiny in color, and often has dilated capillaries. The epidermis and surrounding tissues of some scars are shiny and slightly white in color. Because double eyelid surgery involves incisions and sutures, there will be a recovery period after the operation, and scars are prone to form. This requires us to take preventive measures in advance to avoid unnecessary troubles such as scar hyperplasia.

2. What causes scar hyperplasia 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.

3. What should I do if scar hyperplasia occurs after surgery?

1. One month after surgery

This is the scar hyperplasia stage. During this period, due to the formation of scar tissue, the incision will become red and hard, and the skin color will darken. These are normal phenomena. You can use ointment to inhibit scar hyperplasia and apply hot compresses 3 times a day.

2. 3 months after surgery

The color of the incision will basically be close to the color of the skin.

3. 6 months after surgery

The scar is in a stable period, and the local tissue is relatively softened. Repair work can now be performed, but it also depends on the specific condition of the eye.
