Today, at Gangnam Station Plastic Surgery,
many people seem to worry about the various symptoms
that appear after double eyelid surgery,
so I’d like to let you know in advance
about the ones that appear most often.

Symptoms After Double Eyelid Surgery
Swelling
The first is, of course, swelling.
Swelling is something that is visible first after surgery,
and is a symptom that is naturally unavoidable.
Among double eyelid surgeries,
if you have a non-incisional double eyelid procedure,
the swelling is almost gone within a few weeks.
Compared with incisional double eyelid surgery,
swelling is much less.


Non-incisional double eyelid surgery
is a procedure performed by making only a few holes
and passing the thread through them,
so it causes almost no damage to the inner tissue.
As a result, there is almost no swelling after surgery,
and the return to daily life is relatively fast.
On the other hand, in the case of incisional double eyelid surgery,
during the procedure, the tissue inside the skin
must inevitably be handled through an incision.
Even if it is manipulated carefully
to minimize damage as much as possible,
that tissue is naturally stimulated,
and tissue that has been stimulated
resists external stimulation while trying to return
to its original state,
so various reactions occur inside.
That is what swelling is.

In fact, swelling does go down over time,
but the rate at which it subsides varies greatly from person to person.
That is why it is very difficult to explain it uniformly by saying,
"It will go down after a few days."
In fact, for some people, it can last more than 6 months.
In other words, swelling will go down eventually,
so I hope you won’t be too stressed about it.
Also, light exercise or half-body baths are known to help reduce swelling,
so it may be good to keep that in mind.

Bruising
The second is bruising.
Bruising does not last as long as swelling,
but externally, it can actually be more noticeable
and more bothersome than swelling.
Some people do not bruise at all,
while others may bruise severely
even from just the anesthesia injection.
As such, bruising also varies greatly from person to person.
However, bruising will clear up anyway,
even if it takes at most 2–3 weeks,
so there is no need to worry about it at all.

The feeling that something is caught in the eye
"It feels like something is caught in my eye,
and it’s a bit uncomfortable.
Could it be that the stitches are catching?"
Some people visit us with these symptoms.
In fact, you can think of it as highly unlikely
that the thread is protruding and causing a foreign-body sensation.


These symptoms may occur because tissue was partially pulled during the surgery
at Gangnam Station Plastic Surgery and feels uncomfortable,
or because dry eye symptoms temporarily worsened a little after surgery.
Conjunctival swelling can also cause this feeling.
For now, we recommend trying eye drops, artificial tears, or ophthalmic ointment.
If redness remains severe for a long time,
it may actually be that the eye is being irritated,
or there may be a possibility of infection such as conjunctivitis,
so in that case, please be sure to visit the hospital
and get examined.

A bumpy feeling of the skin
Some people mention symptoms where the skin that had the double eyelids
looks a bit bumpy.
Double eyelid surgery at Gangnam Station Plastic Surgery,
whether incisional or non-incisional,
is an artificial injury to the skin,
so a wound-healing process is unavoidable.
This wound-healing cycle lasts about 6 months.
In other words, for 6 months,
the process of the wound healing continues,
so at first, symptoms such as bumpiness
and redness may appear.
If these symptoms occur,
you may think, "My body is naturally
in the process of healing properly."
So, from the perspective of scarring,
it is best to observe it until 6 months,
which is one cycle of the wound-healing process.
I hope you can feel a little more at ease,
thinking that the bumpiness will almost always resolve over time.

That concludes my explanation of the symptoms
that may be felt or occur after double eyelid surgery.
Gangnam Station Plastic Surgery is a place that provides thorough aftercare,
so quick response to any unusual symptoms is possible.
