In today's society, pursuing beauty and confidence has become a part of many people's lives. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the shape of the eyes is very important for the overall facial beauty. Therefore, more and more people choose to undergo double eyelid surgery to enhance eye beauty and make their eyes brighter and more lively. Although double eyelid surgery is small, the scientific principles behind it cannot be ignored. Do you understand the principles and characteristics of double eyelid surgery?
1、 The principle of double eyelid surgery
Double eyelid surgery is medically known as double eyelid surgery or double eyelid shaping surgery. Its core principle is to establish a connection between the upper eyelid skin and the levator muscle through surgical means, thereby forming natural double eyelid folds when the eyes are opened. This change not only makes the eyes look bigger and more lively, but also enhances the overall beauty of the face.
2、 Double eyelid surgery methods and characteristics
Double eyelid surgery is mainly divided into three types: buried suture double eyelid, fixed point double eyelid (also known as small incision or minimally invasive double eyelid), and total incision double eyelid.
1. Thread buried double eyelid
Thread buried double eyelid is the earliest form of double eyelid surgery, which involves embedding sutures under the upper eyelid skin to create adhesions between the upper eyelid skin and the meibomian tissue, presenting a double eyelid. This method is simple to operate and fast to recover, but its effectiveness is closely related to the patient's ocular foundation, and most cannot be sustained for a long time.
2. Fixed point double eyelid
Fixed point double eyelid is also known as minimally invasive or small incision double eyelid. During surgery, a small incision is made on the inner, middle, and outer sides of the designed double eyelid position, and the double eyelid is fixed by suturing to form the double eyelid. This method has minimal trauma, fast recovery, and relatively long-lasting effects, making it suitable for people with good eye foundation.
3. Total incision double eyelid surgery
Total incision double eyelid surgery is the most complex method of double eyelid surgery, which requires making a transverse incision on the upper eyelid skin to remove excess fat, muscle, or skin, forming a stable double eyelid. Full incision double eyelid surgery has the most natural and long-lasting effect, suitable for people with poor eye foundation or those who need to improve problems such as loose upper eyelid skin and swelling.
3、 Precautions for Double eyelid Surgery
1. Preoperative Preparation
Before double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to undergo a health check to clarify the surgical requirements and precautions, adjust lifestyle habits, avoid eating greasy food, and avoid water half an hour before bedtime to prevent postoperative edema. Female patients undergoing double eyelid surgery should avoid menstrual periods, pregnancy, and lactation to prevent coagulation disorders or medication from affecting the surgical outcome. In addition, it is also necessary to be mentally prepared. Although double eyelid surgery is common, it still belongs to medical behavior and carries certain risks. Before surgery, it is necessary to communicate fully with the doctor, understand the surgical process, effects, and possible risks, and be mentally prepared.
2. Choose a suitable double eyelid surgery
The success of double eyelid surgery largely depends on the choice of surgical method and preoperative design. Therefore, when choosing double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to determine the most suitable double eyelid shape and width with the doctor based on one's own eye foundation, facial contour, and overall temperament, and ensure the surgical effect and safety.
3. Postoperative precautions
After double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory drugs according to medical advice, keep the wound clean and dry, and avoid infection. In the early postoperative period, cold compress can be used to reduce swelling and pain, and in the later stage, warm compress can be used to promote blood circulation. In addition, avoid vigorous exercise for a period of time after surgery, pay attention to supplementing vitamins and protein foods in diet, and avoid consuming spicy and stimulating foods.
