Can full incision double eyelid surgery recover in 7 days?
Generally, it is not possible to fully recover within 7 days after full incision double eyelid surgery. The general reference price for this procedure ranges from 3000 to 15000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed around 1 to 3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as bleeding and scar hypertrophy may occur. Detailed explanation is as follows:
Full incision double eyelid surgery cannot achieve complete recovery within 7 days. This procedure involves making a full incision along the upper eyelid, removing excess loose skin, bulging orbital fat, orbicularis oculi muscle or subcutaneous tissue in front of the tarsal plate, followed by suturing. Compared with other double eyelid procedures such as suture technique or Korean three-point method, full incision surgery causes greater trauma and thus requires a longer recovery period. Swelling usually subsides gradually between 14 to 30 days post-surgery and mostly disappears by the 30th day. During this phase, frequent blinking may help promote blood circulation around the eyes.
Proper post-operative care is necessary during the recovery period, such as keeping the incision clean and dry, using medications appropriately to prevent infection and reduce inflammation, and maintaining a well-balanced diet to ensure adequate nutrition. These measures help promote wound healing and recovery of the eyes.
