Dbleyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure, the main purpose of which is to create a natural fold on the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear larger and more expressive. Possible risks of double eyelid surgery include infection, bleeding, swelling, pain, scar formation, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. In addition, after surgery, problems such as asymmetrical eyelids, unnatural appearance, difficulty closing the eyes, and dry eye syndrome may occur; in severe cases, vision may even be affected.
To reduce the risks associated with double eyelid surgery, patients should choose a qualified medical institution and ensure the procedure is performed by an experienced, professional physician. Before surgery, patients should fully understand the surgical risks and postoperative care instructions, and adequately prepare for the procedure. After surgery, patients should follow medical advice, maintain proper wound hygiene and care, and avoid infection.
Patients should maintain a healthy diet and regular lifestyle to promote wound healing and recovery. If any discomfort occurs, patients should seek timely medical attention and inform the physician about the surgical procedure to receive appropriate treatment and advice.
