Introduction

Under normal circumstances, scarring refers to a scar. Scars on the double eyelids can be treated through massage, medication, photorejuvenation, microneedling, chemical peels, and other methods. During the wound healing period, avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods and foods that may trigger allergic reactions, in order to prevent irritation of the wound and interference with recovery. Additionally, follow the doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments at the hospital.

Generally speaking, scarring refers to a scar. Scars on the double eyelids can be treated through massage, medication, photorejuvenation, microneedling, chemical peels, and other methods. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance. A detailed explanation is as follows:

1. Massage

After the scar has stabilized, gentle massage can be performed on the scarred area to promote blood circulation, helping soften and absorb the scar tissue. However, excessive stimulation of the scar should be avoided during massage to prevent unnecessary damage.

2. Medication

For superficial or newly formed scars, topical scar removal medications such as compound sodium heparin and allantoin gel, polysaccharide sulfates cream, or septilin cream can be applied under a doctor's guidance. These medications can inhibit scar proliferation and promote skin repair.

3. Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation can be performed following medical advice. This treatment uses intense pulsed light on the skin to stimulate collagen regeneration, improve skin texture, and reduce pigmentation and scar overgrowth. The typical reference price for photorejuvenation is 1,000–3,000 yuan per session. Improvement is usually noticeable 1–3 months after treatment, although mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or crusting may occur.

4. Microneedling

Microneedling may involve using tiny needle punctures to stimulate subcutaneous tissue and promote collagen regeneration to repair scars. The typical reference price is usually between 2,000–3,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within two weeks after the procedure. Mild redness, swelling, or pigmentation may occur after treatment.

5. Chemical Peel

Chemical peeling involves using chemical agents to exfoliate the skin surface, causing the outer layer of skin cells to shed and promoting skin cell renewal. The typical reference price for chemical peeling is 800–2,000 yuan per session, with noticeable improvement usually occurring 2–3 weeks after treatment. Possible side effects include redness, pain, and peeling.

Dietary irritants such as spicy food and allergenic foods should be avoided during wound healing to prevent interference with recovery. Additionally, follow medical advice and schedule regular follow-up visits to the hospital to promptly detect and manage any abnormal conditions.

Is it attractive for males to have fully incised double eyelids?

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.
