To prevent hypertrophic scarring after eye corner surgery, proper postoperative care is essential. Within 24 hours after surgery, local cold compresses with an ice pack can be applied to help reduce swelling and prevent plasma adhesion. Under a doctor's guidance, anti-inflammatory medications such as cefixime or cefradine may also be taken to prevent infection. Additionally, avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods during recovery.
