What should I pay attention to after undergoing an eyebrow incision?
Generally speaking, eyebrow excision refers to the procedure of eyebrow resection, which can simultaneously achieve special effects such as beautifying the eyebrows, removing wrinkles, and enlarging the eyes. After undergoing eyebrow surgery, it is important to maintain wound cleanliness, avoid getting the wound wet, refrain from strenuous activities, follow a light and easily digestible diet, and attend regular follow-up appointments. Specific recommendations are as follows:
1. Keep the wound clean
After surgery, maintain cleanliness at the surgical site to avoid infection. If there is a scab or other discharge on the wound, gently wipe the wound and surrounding area with normal saline or a disinfectant recommended by your doctor to remove scabs, discharge, and impurities.
2. Avoid getting the wound wet
In the early postoperative period, especially before suture removal, the surgical site must strictly avoid contact with water. Water may carry bacteria and increase the risk of infection. Patients should avoid directly washing the surgical area with water. Instead, they may use a damp towel to gently wipe non-surgical areas while keeping the surgical site dry.
3. Avoid strenuous activities
For a period after eyebrow resection surgery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor to prevent sweat from soaking the wound, which may lead to infection and inflammation, or excessive pulling that could cause the wound to split open. Light and simple activities such as walking or stretching are recommended.
4. Follow a light and easily digestible diet
After eyebrow surgery, patients should follow a light and easily digestible diet. It is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamins and proteins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, lean meat, and eggs. These foods help promote wound healing, enhance immune function, and reduce the risk of infection.
5. Attend regular follow-up appointments
After surgery, patients should attend follow-up appointments according to the doctor's schedule so that the physician can monitor the healing progress of the surgical site and provide professional guidance and advice. If any concerns or discomfort arise, seek medical attention promptly and consult with a professional physician.
To prevent skin laxity and the formation of wrinkles, proper sun protection measures should be taken in daily life. When engaging in outdoor activities, wear a sun hat, use an umbrella, or apply sunscreen to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation.
