Precautions Before and After Double Eyelid Surgery

Normally, surgeries performed under general anesthesia require fasting for at least 8 hours before the operation. This is to empty the stomach in preparation for any possible anesthesia-related accident. Sedation anesthesia also usually requires an 8-hour fast, and even for surgeries that are not performed under sedation anesthesia, it is actually better to fast.

Sometimes people drink alcohol the day before surgery, but in fact, it is only natural to avoid alcohol before surgery. If you drink heavily before surgery, the liver, which has to break down the alcohol, becomes fatigued. Since various anesthetics and antibiotics used during surgery are also metabolized and broken down in the liver, the liver, already tired from breaking down the alcohol consumed before surgery, can be overworked.

In fact, there are no particularly special precautions for #doubleeyelidsurgery before the operation, but if I were to mention things to consider, it is better to stop taking blood circulation improvement supplements such as aspirin, Ginkomin, and squalene at least one week before surgery. This is because bleeding may not stop easily, and if bleeding continues during surgery because hemostasis is difficult, bruising may last a long time.

Sometimes people come in for double eyelid surgery with eyelash extensions attached. If the eyelashes are too long, they can cover the pupil and affect the design, and during surgery the lashes may fall off and get into the surgical area, so all extended false eyelashes must be removed before coming in. Of course, as a rule, you should also remove anything that could interfere with the surgery, such as all types of contact lenses, rings, earrings, and nail polish.

After double eyelid surgery, because the procedure has already been performed, there are several precautions that must be followed.

The precautions before and after surgery may not seem like much, but if you pay a little more attention and follow them, you can prevent problems and help ensure a cleaner double eyelid surgery result.
