Precautions After Suture-Based Double Eyelid Surgery

For people with thin eyelids

and not much fat,

a highly recommended double eyelid surgery method

is the suture-based method.

The suture-based double eyelid procedure

creates a double eyelid

by making small openings in the eyelid

without skin incision,

then connecting the skin and the muscle that opens the eye.

� The surgery is relatively simple,

does not take much time,

and revision surgery is also not difficult.

� Swelling and bruising after surgery

are generally less than with incision-based surgery.

� Still, surgery is surgery!

Let’s take a look at

what to be careful about.

Precautions After Suture-Based Double Eyelid Surgery

• Even a small impact can cause bleeding, which may lead to bruising.

• If bleeding occurs after surgery, apply continuous pressure for about 5 to 10 minutes.

• For 2 to 3 days after surgery, alternating cold and warm compresses can help prevent swelling and reduce it.

• If the skin is thick or the eyes are protruding, it may take more than 6 months for the double eyelid to settle into place.

• If you temporarily feel sensitivity to light or have frequent tearing, the symptoms usually disappear within 2 months.

• Avoiding smoking and alcohol helps recovery.

• After the suture-based method, there are no stitches to remove separately.

• Avoid irritating the surgical area.
