Double Eyelids After Surgery Look Uneven, or Is It Swelling? Causes and Solutions Explained by Wink Plastic Surgery!

Did your eyes become uneven after double eyelid surgery? Causes and solutions explained by Wink Plastic Surgery!

Eyelid surgery done to become prettier! In the early stage after double eyelid surgery, parts that were damaged during the procedure may become swollen due to irritation and medication. Not everyone can achieve perfect symmetry, but surgery is performed after designing the shape so that it can be adjusted as much as possible.

Generally, swelling can vary depending on an individual's skin type and the surgical method. Depending on the person's constitution, some may swell a lot while others may hardly swell at all, and swelling is a natural symptom.

Many people worry about asymmetry during the early recovery period after surgery. Asymmetry for about 1 to 3 months is usually a temporary phenomenon caused by swelling and gradually improves. After surgery, it is best to sit up as much as possible, and sleeping with your head elevated is recommended.

Cold compresses are effective from the day of surgery through day 3, and from day 4 onward, applying a mild warm compress is helpful. It is also good to combine this with light walking and aerobic exercise. However, strenuous exercise such as strength training increases pressure at the surgical site, carries a risk of bleeding, and does not help with swelling.

After surgery, rather than opening your eyes by using your forehead or eyebrows, which may increase the chance that the double eyelids will loosen, it can also help to practice opening them using only the muscles around the eyes while stabilizing the area with your hand.

Asymmetry after double eyelid surgery is likely due to early swelling, and rather than hastily planning a revision surgery, it is important to observe the healing process until sufficient recovery has taken place. If it still appears asymmetrical after 6 months, it is a good idea to consult a specialist.
