Introduction

Under normal circumstances, there may still be a slight tightness four months after undergoing full-incision double eyelid surgery. Full-incision double eyelid surgery involves making incisions at appropriate positions on the upper eyelid, removing excess skin, fat, and part of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and then attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to create the double eyelid crease. After surgery, it is important to maintain good eye habits and avoid prolonged eye strain.

Generally, there may still be a slight tightness four months after undergoing a full-incision double eyelid surgery. The full-incision double eyelid surgery involves cutting the skin at an appropriate position on the upper eyelid, removing excess skin, fat, and part of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and then fixing the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to create a double eyelid. The usual reference price for this procedure ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is typically observed within 1-3 months post-surgery, although symptoms such as redness and swelling may occur. A detailed explanation is as follows:

Post-surgery, the tissues require time to heal and reshape. During this process, tightness around the eyes may occur due to scar formation and incomplete softening of the local tissues. By the fourth month, the scars of most patients are gradually softening, and the tightness should significantly decrease compared to the early postoperative period. However, if the individual has a special constitution, such as being prone to scarring, or improper postoperative care—for instance, frequently rubbing the eyes or overusing them—the tightness might last longer than usual.

It is recommended to visit a legitimate hospital and follow the guidance of professional surgeons to ensure the safety and reliability of the procedure. After surgery, maintaining good eye-use habits is important. Avoid prolonged eye strain and prevent excessive tension in the muscles around the eyes. Appropriate warm compresses and gentle massage around the eyes can be performed to promote local blood circulation, accelerate tissue repair and scar softening, and further alleviate the tightness.

In general, a full-incision double eyelid procedure involves making an incision on the upper eyelid, removing excess skin and fat, and then attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at a specific height to create a double eyelid crease. Whether a full-incision double eyelid looks good for males depends on individual facial features and whether the surgical design aligns with male aesthetic characteristics. There is no absolute answer, but overall, the key is to achieve a natural and harmonious appearance.
