Why does edema appear after eye synthesis surgery?

Understanding the causes of edema is the first step in effectively responding to it.

1. Physiological response:Surgery itself is a kind of trauma. The body's natural defense mechanisms will be activated, and local tissues will have an inflammatory reaction, resulting in increased vascular permeability. Plasma and tissue fluid will seep out into the surrounding spaces, forming edema. This is a necessary stage for body repair.
2. Intraoperative factors:The length of the operation, whether vasoconstrictors are used during the operation, the anesthesia method, and the precision of the doctor's operation may all affect the degree and duration of postoperative swelling.
3. Individual differences:Each person's physique is different, and there are differences in metabolic speed, blood circulation, lymph circulation ability, skin elasticity and sensitivity to pain and inflammation, which directly determines the individual's speed of swelling.
4. Preoperative status:Preoperative allergies, infections, inflammation (such as conjunctivitis, blepharitis), lack of sleep, excessive drinking, high-salt diet, crying, etc. may all become inducements or exacerbating factors of postoperative edema.
5. Post-operative care:Improper care, such as premature exposure to water, rubbing eyes, strenuous exercise, and failing to follow doctor's advice, can delay swelling and even lead to poor recovery.

Shanghai Xiyan Medical has an experienced medical team that understands the importance of postoperative swelling management and regards it as one of the key links to the success of the operation. We follow a scientific and systematic swelling management plan to help beauty seekers Get better surgical results and a faster recovery experience.

Strictly follow the doctor's advice and take medicine on time:

• Antibiotics:Preventing infection is the top priority. Doctors will prescribe antibiotics according to the situation, and must take them on time and in the right amount.
• Anti-inflammatory drugs:Helps reduce inflammatory reactions and control swelling and pain.
• Other drugs:If drugs prescribed by your doctor to promote absorption and improve circulation, please follow your doctor's advice.

Ice application is the key, but it requires scientific operation:

• 时间：24-48 hours after surgery is the golden period for swelling, and ice application has the best effect. It is generally recommended to apply ice 4-6 times a day for 15-20 minutes each time.
• 方法：
  • Cleaning:Always clean your hands and face before applying ice.
  • Protection:Wrap a clean dry towel or gauze around the ice pack to prevent ice from coming into direct contact with the skin and causing frostbite.
  • Location:Place an ice pack on the lower eyelid under the cheekbones or in the pouch area and press gently to promote blood reflux.
  • Frequency:Each ice application must be at least 1 hours apart.
• Note:48After hours, the swelling begins to subside, and warm compress can be switched to (also requires doctor's guidance or judgment according to your own situation) to promote blood circulation and lymph reflux, but the warm compress time should not be too long to avoid exacerbating inflammation.

Keep the wound clean and dry to avoid infection:

• Strictly follow your doctor's instructions on removing sutures (if needed) and changing dressing.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes with your hands to prevent bacterial infection.
• Follow up on time, let the doctor evaluate the recovery situation, and discover and deal with abnormalities in a timely manner.

Eat a low-salt diet with adequate water:

• Control salt:During a period of time after surgery (usually 1-2 weeks is recommended), salt intake should be strictly controlled and salty snacks, processed foods, pickled products, etc. should be avoided to reduce water retention in the body.
• Replenish water:Instead, you should ensure adequate drinking water (non-ice water, coffee, strong tea) and drink 1 every day. 5-2 About liters help dilute blood and promote the discharge of metabolic waste and excess water, but be careful to avoid drinking large amounts of water before going to bed.

Ensure adequate sleep and elevate your sleeping position:

• Sleep:Ensure 7-8 hours of quality sleep every day and avoid staying up late.
• Sleeping position:For at least 1 months after surgery, try to raise your head as much as possible (you can use multiple pillows to raise it) while sleeping, so that your head is higher than the level of the heart, use gravity to help flow back blood and tissue fluid, and reduce eye swelling. This is especially important for swelling under the bags and the lying silkworm area.

避免剧烈运动和重体力劳动：

• For a period of time after surgery (usually 2-4 weeks, as directed by your doctor), avoid strenuous exercise, running, jumping, lifting heavy objects, etc. These activities can increase facial blood circulation and metabolism and may lead to increased swelling or delayed resolution.

Quit smoking and drink, stay away from stimulation:

• Smoking can seriously affect blood circulation and tissue repair, while alcohol can dilate blood vessels and aggravate swelling. You must strictly quit smoking and alcohol after surgery.

Keep a good mood and wait patiently:

• Tension, anxiety, and emotional excitement are not conducive to physical recovery. Maintaining a peaceful and happy mood is crucial to smooth recovery.
• Important Tips:Post-operative swelling is a gradual process. It usually takes 1-3 months for the swelling to be basically stable, and full recovery or even longer. Please be patient, do not rush for success, and do not be overly anxious because of repeated swelling in the short term. Everyone's recovery curve is different.
