Introduction
Double eyelid stitching, also known as suture double eyelid surgery, involves placing sutures between the skin and tarsal plate to create adhesions between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate, thereby forming a double eyelid. The typical reference price for suture double eyelid surgery ranges from 8,000 to 12,000 yuan per session. Results are generally visible around two weeks after the procedure, although complications such as infection may occur.
Generally, sutured double eyelid refers to the non-incisional double eyelid surgery, which involves placing sutures between the skin and tarsal plate to create adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate, thus forming a double eyelid. The typical reference price for non-incisional double eyelid surgery is 8,000–12,000 yuan per session. Results are usually visible within 7–14 days after the procedure, although complications such as infection may occur. Postoperative care instructions include avoiding strenuous exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring proper rest, avoiding touching the wound with hands, and regular disinfection. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Specific details are as follows:
1. Avoid Strenuous Exercise
Strenuous exercise may accelerate blood circulation, increasing the risk of bleeding and swelling at the surgical site.
2. Maintain a Balanced Diet
Avoid spicy, stimulating, or allergenic foods such as seafood to reduce the risk of inflammation and infection. At the same time, balanced nutrition helps accelerate metabolism and promotes wound healing.
3. Ensure Proper Rest
Adequate sleep reduces eye fatigue and dryness, which aids in the formation and recovery of the double eyelid.
4. Avoid Touching the Wound with Hands
Hands may carry numerous bacteria and viruses. Touching the wound can easily introduce pathogens into the incision site, leading to infection. Infection not only delays healing but may also result in scarring or other complications.
5. Regular Disinfection
Regular disinfection kills bacteria around the wound, reducing the risk of infection. It also helps keep the wound clean and dry, promoting healing and recovery.
If needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and follow the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.
