How long should scar removal cream be applied after double eyelid surgery?

Generally, the principle of double eyelid surgery involves creating or reshaping the adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the levator muscle through surgical methods, forming a double eyelid crease to achieve the desired double eyelid effect. The general reference price for double eyelid surgery ranges from 3,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed within 1 to 3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as bleeding and scar hyperplasia may occur. It is recommended to apply scar removal ointment for approximately 3 months following the surgery. Detailed explanation is as follows:

The peak period for scar hyperplasia after double eyelid surgery is 15-30 days post-operation, and it generally takes 3-6 months for the hyperplasia to subside. Scar removal ointments typically contain ingredients such as silicone and vitamin E, which can inhibit scar formation. These ingredients can penetrate deep into the skin, promoting regeneration and repair of skin cells and reducing scar development. Additionally, the incision requires some time to heal after surgery. Applying scar removal ointment creates a protective layer over the incision, reducing irritation from external bacteria and dust, and aiding in wound cleanliness and healing.

It is recommended to use scar removal ointment correctly according to the product instructions or medical advice, avoiding self-adjustment of the dosage, to facilitate skin recovery.
