[Eye Surgery] Swelling and Scarring After Double Eyelid Surgery

Hello.

Among those considering eye surgery,

the most common question is about

post-surgery swelling or scarring.

Today, let’s talk about the swelling

and scarring that appear after

double eyelid surgery.

Swelling and scarring after double eyelid surgery

First of all, there are various factors

that affect swelling.

These include the surgery time, tissue damage

that occurs during surgery, the thickness of the

eyelid skin, the amount of fat,

and differences according to body type.

In procedures such as incision methods, which require

more manipulation of the soft tissue to create

a double eyelid line, swelling may last a little

longer than with non-incisional methods.

Compared with people who have thin skin,

those with thicker skin or a larger amount

of soft tissue may experience swelling

that lasts a little longer.

Swelling that occurs after double eyelid surgery

is usually resolved within 1–2 weeks,

and after that, you do not need to worry too much.

Scarring is similar to swelling as well.

It is most noticeable one month after surgery,

and after a stabilization period of about

2–3 months, improvement in the scar

can be seen after 6 months.

The eyelid area may be a little different.

Unlike scars on other parts of the face

or scars that form on the body,

the eyelid area is one of the areas where

scars are barely formed.

Many people worry that the swelling is still severe

after surgery, or that the scar is too red.

These concerns usually improve significantly

over time, so you do not need to worry too much.

Can I correct hollow eyes

and create double eyelids again?

In general, people with no volume above

the eyelid, eyes that look sunken and hollow,

or those with many deep fine wrinkles on the upper eyelid

are often described as having hollow eyes

or a tired-looking eye area.

It can be described as somewhat similar

to mild ptosis.

The key point of the surgery is to release

these adhesions, so by making an incision,

the adhesions between the skin and the fascia of the

muscle that opens the eyes, and between the

levator aponeurosis fascia, are released to help

the eye-opening process proceed smoothly.

That will be the core of the surgery.

Because an incision is made,

a double eyelid line has to be created there.

The line can be made so that it is not awkward

and so that it matches the double eyelid shape

you want.

Depending on the height of the line,

the line can be created, but with double eyelids,

it is often the case that the overlapping crease

that was present before surgery or the line that was

folded unattractively on the upper side is lowered.

For eyes that look a little sleepy,

just releasing the tissue can make eye opening

easier, which may strengthen the force used

to open the eyes.

Today, we looked at swelling and scarring

after eye surgery, as well as methods

for correcting hollow eyes.

Thank you.
