Symptoms of infection after eye corner surgery
Disease description:
One week ago, I had an eye corner surgery (epicanthoplasty), and now both of my eyes are swollen. I'm afraid to touch them. What are the symptoms of infection after eye corner surgery?
After infection following an eye corner surgery, symptoms such as local redness, swelling, fever, and pain usually occur. Eye corner surgery is a type of surgical procedure that involves cutting and then suturing part of the skin. During this process, the skin undergoes certain irritation, and inadequate postoperative care may lead to infection, causing redness at the site, along with pain and a burning sensation on the local skin. In severe cases, it may even result in low-grade fever. If obvious signs of infection appear, prompt medical examination at a hospital is necessary, and treatment should be carried out according to medical advice.
