Having eyelid surgery done is virtually one of the fastest and painless procedures available nowadays. However, there are certain points to take note of in order to manage your expectations from the operation. These are crucial to you enjoying a positive outcome from having had the surgery.
Eyelid surgeries result in few or no complications but there can still be the odd failed cases. It depends largely on the surgeon's competency levels and after surgery care. The patient must also abide by the instructions given to care for the wound once discharged.
With most eyelid surgeries, incisions will be made to your eyelids in order to manipulate the layers of tissue underneath. These incisions take time to heal. Your surgeon will need you to follow certain steps in order to ensure their recovery.
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.
Scarring is an unwanted possibility and again, medication will also be given to eliminate its occurrence. However, if instructions are not followed to the letter, scars can develop easily. For example, you might have to prevent the wound from coming into contact with water.
Pain and irritation will accompany any form of cuts or wounds. This applies equally to the surgical incisions made during your eyelid surgery. While it can be of extreme discomfort due to them being around your eyes, it is best to tolerate and endure the pain for the period of time the incision takes to heal.
Most eyelid surgeries require around two to four weeks to heal. Results after that are often fantastic and you will have brighter looking eyelids to celebrate. Resist the temptation to partake in any activities such as staying out late and parties to allow your eyelids to heal properly.
After recovery, the cosmetic eyelid surgery will result in a younger, brighter and better looking you. That is a main reason why many have sought to have it done, regardless of upper or lower eyelids. Just remember to always listen to the doctor's advice as they will know best for your care. - 17943
