Is it good for people to open their eyes

Canthoplasty is a procedure that involves making the corners of the eyes larger on both sides of the nose. This will make the eyes look obviously bigger. This is also the most common way for people to undergo cosmetic surgery. The eyes can be said to be the most delicate organ in the human body. If the eyes are accidentally injured during surgery, it is very likely to cause blindness. So is it good for people to open their eyes?

1. Canthoplasty is suitable for those with small eyes: it can significantly widen the palpebral fissure, making the eyes slender and beautiful;

2. For those whose eyes are too wide apart: Removing the epicanthus and widening the inner canthus can effectively shorten the distance between the two eyes. In this case, canthoplasty can also effectively improve the condition;

3. Those who want to continuously improve their double eyelids can have an outer canthoplasty surgery at the same time as the double eyelid surgery to create an attractive peach blossom eye shape;

4. Surgery can also help with drooping of the eye corners. If there is ptosis, ptosis correction surgery can be performed after 6-12 months.

If the lateral canthal incision is too large, the fornix and conjunctiva are not relaxed enough, and the incision is forcibly sutured, a red edge of the conjunctiva will appear in the area where the canthus is widened, affecting the appearance and causing incomplete closure of the palpebral fissure. The purpose of using plastic surgery to correct enlarged blepharophimosis is, on the one hand, to prevent or treat exposure keratitis caused by enlarged blepharophimosis, and on the other hand, it is also for cosmetic reasons.

The surgical methods include simple suture and Fucks method of palpebral fissure shortening. Simple suture is suitable for patients with simple and mild enlarged palpebral fissures. The operation is simple, but it is prone to recurrence after surgery. It is rarely used in clinical practice. The Fucks method of palpebral fissure shortening is suitable for patients with enlarged palpebral fissures due to paralytic ectropion. It can also be used for patients who cannot support an artificial eye due to absent eyeball and loose eyelid skin. Currently, the Fucks method of palpebral fissure shortening is widely used in clinical practice and the effect is also good.

Postoperative precautions:

1. Try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 7 days after surgery;

2. Ensure the surgical site is clean to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline.

3. After the operation, you can apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack to cool it, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the eyes. If bleeding or severe hematoma occurs after surgery, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time.

4. You should rest in a quiet and comfortable environment after the operation. Do not watch TV or read newspapers within 2 weeks after surgery. It is best to rest in bed in a semi-recumbent position (with a raised pillow) to avoid excessive eye fatigue or a low head position that may aggravate wound swelling.

5. There will be some pain in the wound on the day of operation, but it will gradually ease over time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, as aspirin-like drugs can aggravate wound bleeding;

6. Avoid eating spicy foods such as chili peppers;

7. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions on taking medication and going for follow-up visits. Due to racial differences, most Oriental peoples have epicanthus growing at the inner corners of their eyes, making their eyes appear short.
