Causes of postoperative swelling

Swelling after eye plastic surgery is a natural response of the body to trauma and is mainly caused by the following factors:

1. tissue trauma: During the operation, the tissue around the eyes is damaged to a certain extent, and the body will repair the damaged tissue through an inflammatory reaction, resulting in local swelling.

2. blood stagnation: During surgery, local capillary permeability may increase, blood and tissue fluid exude, and swelling may be formed.

3. individual differences: Different people's physique, metabolic speed, blood circulation status, etc. will affect the degree and speed of postoperative swelling.

4. improper postoperative nursing: Such as not taking medicine according to doctor's advice after surgery, excessive use of eyes, improper diet, etc., may aggravate swelling.

Methods for swelling in the early postoperative period (1-3 days)

The first few days after surgery are the most obvious stage of swelling. At this time, cold compress should be the main one to help reduce the inflammatory reaction and swelling.

cold compress

Cold compress is one of the most effective methods to reduce swelling in the early stages of surgery. Cold compress can contract blood vessels, reduce the exudation of blood and tissue fluid, and thereby reduce swelling.

• 方法: Use an ice pack or cold compress pad and cover around the eyes for 15-20 minutes each time,3-4 times a day.
• 注意: Avoid direct contact with skin. It is best to wrap ice packs with a towel to prevent frostbite.

抬高头部休息

Try to keep your head elevated after surgery and avoid lowering your head or lying flat for a long time, which helps reduce blood flow to the eyes and reduce swelling.

• 建议: You can raise your head under the pillow while sleeping, and try to avoid working with your head down for long periods of time during the day.

avoid strenuous exercise

Vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, etc. should be avoided in the early stages of surgery. These activities will increase blood circulation and aggravate swelling.

Methods for reducing swelling in the mid-term (4-7 days) after surgery

About one week after surgery, the swelling gradually began to subside, but some congestion and inflammation still existed. At this time, hot compress and massage can be combined to promote blood circulation and accelerate swelling.

Warm hot compress

Hot compress can promote local blood circulation, help absorb congestion, and relieve swelling.

• 方法: Apply a warm towel to your eyes, control the water temperature at about 40℃, 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.
• 注意: Hot compress should be performed with the doctor's permission and avoid using it early after surgery.

gently massage

Gentle massage around the eyes can promote lymph circulation and help eliminate swelling.

• 方法: Gently massage around the eyes with your fingertips in circles, from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye, avoiding pressing hard.
• 注意: Massage should be performed after the wound heals to avoid infection.

reasonable diet

Postoperative diet also has an important impact on the resolution of swelling. Spicy, greasy, and irritating foods should be avoided, and foods rich in vitamin C and protein should be eaten, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, soy products, etc., to help wound healing and swelling.

Methods for swelling in the later postoperative period (after 1 weeks)

One week after surgery, the swelling basically subsided, but daily care still needs to be paid to prevent recurrence.

规律作息

Ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late and excessive use of your eyes, and help your body recover.

Sun protection and moisturizing

The skin around the eyes is relatively fragile after surgery, so sun protection should be done to avoid ultraviolet damage, and mild moisturizing products around the eyes should be used to maintain skin moisture balance.

regular reexamination

Regular re-examination should be carried out according to the doctor's recommendations after surgery to ensure smooth recovery and to detect and handle abnormalities in a timely manner.

Life tips to accelerate swelling

In addition to the above methods, the following life tips can also help you reduce swelling faster:

1. drink plenty of water: Drinking moderate water helps promote metabolism and expel excess water and toxins from the body.

2. Avoid salt intake: A high-salt diet can cause water retention in the body and aggravate swelling. Eat as light as possible after surgery.

3. proper exercise: After the postoperative recovery period, moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, yoga, etc., can be performed to promote blood circulation throughout the body.

4. Eye massager: Using a professional facial massager, especially one with alternating hot and cold functions, can help relieve fatigue and swelling around the eyes.

Common misunderstandings need to be vigilant

1. Premature hot compress: Blind hot compress in the early stages of surgery may lead to increased inflammation and should be followed according to doctor's advice.

2. Excessive rubbing of eyes: The skin around the eyes is fragile after surgery, and excessive rubbing may lead to infection or scar hyperplasia.

3. self-medication: Post-operative medication needs to be strictly followed by doctor's advice and avoid using drugs that are not recommended by the doctor.

Swelling after eye plastic surgery is a normal phenomenon, but through scientific care and correct detumescence methods, the recovery period can be effectively shortened and the surgical effect can be improved. Shanghai Xiyan Medical recommends that beauty seekers strictly follow the doctor's guidance after surgery and maintain good habits and wait patiently for the body's natural recovery process.
