Will having double eyelid surgery and inner corner eye surgery leave scars?

Generally, double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty refer to two separate procedures. Double eyelid surgery creates a crease in the upper eyelid to form a visible double eyelid fold, while canthoplasty involves cutting the skin and mucous membrane at either the inner or outer corner of the eye to enlarge the eye's appearance. The general reference price for these surgeries ranges from 3,000 to 15,000 yuan per session, and results are typically noticeable within 3 to 6 months, although symptoms such as swelling and pain may occur. Whether or not scarring occurs after double eyelid and canthoplasty depends on the professionalism of the surgical procedure and the postoperative care. Improper surgical techniques or inadequate postoperative care may result in scarring, whereas appropriate surgical techniques and proper postoperative care generally prevent scarring. A detailed analysis is as follows:

If the surgery is improperly performed—for example, if the surgeon lacks skill, the incision design is unreasonable, or suturing is rough—and causes significant damage to the ocular tissues, scarring is more likely to occur. Additionally, poor postoperative care, such as wound infection, frequent eye rubbing by the patient, or the patient having a scar-prone constitution, can lead to significant scar hypertrophy during the wound healing process, resulting in permanent scarring.

However, if the surgery is performed by an experienced and skilled surgeon who can precisely design the incision based on the patient's eye condition and perform meticulous suturing to minimize surgical trauma, scarring is unlikely. Furthermore, if the patient strictly follows postoperative medical instructions, maintains wound cleanliness and dryness, applies scar-reducing ointments on schedule, and does not have a scar-prone constitution, the recovery is usually favorable, and noticeable scarring generally does not occur.

It is recommended to visit a formal hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of qualified and experienced doctors to ensure the safety and reliability of the surgery. After surgery, it is important to keep the surgical site clean and dry, avoid contact with water, follow medical advice for timely dressing changes and medication use, reduce eye strain, and avoid strenuous activities or any impact to the eye area.
