[Etone TV] After Surgery, How Can You Shorten the Recovery Period?

Based on the best techniques,

from before surgery

we design procedures that minimize bruising and swelling.

With skilled technique and a delicate touch,

we perform surgery quickly to reduce strain on the body,

so you can return to daily life quickly,

even going back to work the very next day.

For the best results,

tips to shorten the recovery period!

After eye surgery,

I’ll go over a few key points

about swelling and recovery care.

If you have undergone plastic surgery and the skin suturing is complete,

you can wash your face within 48 hours.

I tell people that once 24 hours have passed,

they can just wash their face the next day.

But

there are sometimes people who are cautious,

thinking, “Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

It’s fine. You can wash your face!

After 48 hours, there is no problem with washing with soap, but if there are any stitches or tape,

just be careful around those areas when washing your face.

After surgery, we provide specific instructions for each procedure, so if you have any questions, it’s best to consult with your doctor.

The stitches at the surgical site are removed within 4 to 7 days for any area of surgery, and at the latest on day 8.

Then,

you’ll wonder when you can start wearing makeup.

For example, if you had eye surgery,

people ask when they can use eyeliner.

Because cosmetics can get on the area around the stitches,

you can do it 48 hours after the stitches are removed.

Even after a week has passed and the stitches are removed after surgery,

you should be careful not to touch the area carelessly.

At one month, more than about 70–80% of recovery has occurred,

so it can be considered that the surgery is essentially complete,

but in reality, wounds continue to improve for 6 months to 1 year,

and sometimes even up to 5 years.

In the case of lifting or incision eye surgery,

tissue rearrangement, including changes in blood vessels,

often takes place gradually over 6 months to 1 year.

Along with questions about makeup,

many people also ask about the timing of eyebrow tattooing.

I recommend that eyebrow tattooing be done one month after surgery, after consulting with me.

The position and design of eyebrow tattooing are important,

but

when working on the eyes or the area around the eyes, it can affect the results of the existing surgery,

so please allow about a month to pass so the attending doctor can judge how much has changed.

After checking your condition one month later,

I will tell you whether you can do it now or whether you should wait a little longer.

More than 70% of our body

is made up of water, so body water moves according to gravity.

When you lie down, water spreads throughout the body,

and when you get up, it gathers downward.

That’s why your eyes tend to be swollen when you wake up in the morning.

Some people even say they sat up and slept all week in order to recover quickly.

If you can do it, it’s not a bad idea, but sleeping while sitting up is too hard, isn’t it? Lie down and sleep comfortably,

instead,

if you lie down for a long time after surgery, your eyes are more likely to swell,

so for example, if you usually sleep about 8 hours, for about a week after surgery, shortening your sleep to around 5 or 6 hours and staying active diligently will help reduce swelling.

Also, if the surgical area is higher than the heart, there will be less swelling, which is similar to why you keep your legs elevated after leg surgery.

One more thing for faster recovery!

For 48 to 72 hours immediately after surgery, cold compresses are very important.

They are highly effective at reducing swelling.

After the acute phase has passed, increased blood flow helps wound healing, so it is good to use cold compresses in the morning and warm compresses in the evening.

When it comes to recovery care, diet control is also important.

Sodium causes the body to retain water, which worsens swelling, so a low-sodium diet is recommended after surgery.

That concludes the key points for managing swelling and recovery.

Above all, I personally provide detailed care based on the patient’s constitution and condition for a healthy and quick recovery after surgery.

So that no worries remain, I stay with you throughout the recovery journey, so for the best results, please focus only on healthy recovery.
