What's the matter with the fleshy strips after double eyelid surgery for a month

Many people in life prefer double eyelids, but for women with single eyelids, the condition of their eyelids can be changed through some surgeries. Many women will have red and swollen eyelids and even have strips of flesh after double eyelid surgery. This is normal and can be improved with proper care. Why is there a strip of flesh left after having double eyelids for a month?

1. Meat strips disappearing time

Starting one and a half months after the double eyelid surgery, the soft tissue of the double eyelids will have scar hyperplasia. At this time, the double eyelids of people with severe hyperplasia will look like caterpillars, no different from strips of meat. But don't worry, this is all normal. Generally, the fleshy stripes on the double eyelids will gradually disappear in about 3 months, and the effect will be very natural in about 6 months.

2. How to avoid

Double eyelid surgery is a less invasive but delicate operation, so more attention should be paid to the treatment of eye muscles, fat, etc. If excess tissue is not handled properly, it is easy to form swollen strips of flesh. Controlling the amount of bleeding during the operation is also a factor that makes it difficult to eliminate the swollen strips of flesh around the eyes. If the doctor fails to stop the bleeding during the operation, the hematoma and blood clots formed will not be completely absorbed.

3. Postoperative Care

Do not touch the surgical site to avoid infection; take anti-swelling medication as directed by the doctor; try not to look at your phone or computer to protect your eyes; avoid eating irritating foods and using cosmetics; do not wear contact lenses within 2-3 weeks after surgery. Apply cold compresses three days before double eyelid surgery. After three days, when the subcutaneous vascular tissue has basically healed, you can start applying hot compresses. This can accelerate the absorption of blood stasis and reduce swelling faster.
