Cosmetic eyelid surgery has gained widespread popularity with both men and women due to it being painless and fast. It also gives the patient a younger look. In order to ensure a positive result from the operation, one must be well informed of what to expect and do after the surgery.
However, eyelid surgeries can still end up unsuccessful despite the safe nature of the procedure. While part of this depends on how good the surgeon is, the patient's contribution in after surgery care is also vital. If the doctor's advice is not taken during the healing stage, it might lead to poor results.
Eyelid surgeries often involve making incisions to remove skin or fat tissues underneath the eyelid. As with any open wound, they will require some time for healing. The instructions on how to care for the incision cuts will be provided by your surgeon who has to ensure after-op success.
One of the dangers to avoid is a swelling of the operated area. Listen to your surgeon's advice on how to prevent the area from getting dry. This is done by applying the medicinal ointment provided by the doctor. Sometimes ice packs might be required in order to help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Any patient will be worried about possible scarring as a result of incisions made to the eyelids. This can occur if you do not heed the surgeon's instructions on after surgery care, such as taking your medicine and applying the ointment. There might also be other precautions such as avoiding certain types of food that might increase the possibility of scars forming.
Another point to note after the eyelid operation is the physical discomfort you might experience. This includes slight pain and the usual urge to scratch the area around the wound. This can be countered once again using the anti bacterial and steroid creams from the doctor, while keeping the area clean at all times.
You might take up to a month to recover from the eyelid surgery but most times it is a lot shorter. With the great results waiting for you after that, it is definitely worth following all the rules and enduring the inconveniences during the post-op period.
The eyelid surgery will help you look younger as it helps to remove any prior cosmetic deficiencies of the eye. Not only will you look better, life will provide more joy as a better looking you opens up other avenues. Taking care of your eyes during the period after surgery is thus of utmost importance. - 15255
