Facts About Double Eyelid Surgery
As people get older, many might experience issues such as drooping eyelids or weakened eye muscles, which can obstruct vision and lead to squinting. This can result in reduced visual ability. Surgical treatment can enhance the appearance of the eyes and give a more youthful look. At Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic, our medical team assesses each patient’s physical condition, any underlying health issues, and regular medications. If there are no complications, patients can proceed with double eyelid surgery.
Many people decide to undergo double eyelid surgery for various reasons, such as:
• Want to look better, have beautiful eyes, and be more confident.
• Eye-related problems e.g. drooping eye and ptosis which affects visual ability.
• Want to adjust their eye features to enhance their fortune, such as career advancement and love.
• Life changes e.g. starting university, getting married etc.
• Have had double eyelid surgery before and would like to make adjustments for better results.

The surgical procedure involves making a small incision around the eyelid to remove the bags under the eyes, which tightens and smooths the skin.

This program uses high-frequency radio waves instead of the surgical procedure to stimulate the collagen.

Normally, a consultation session with the doctor is provided before undergoing any treatment process. This is to plan the design of the eyelid crease to suit the individual patient, taking into account any specific limitations. However, you can bring references for the doctor to conduct analysis.
There is no pain and no need for general anesthesia since it is a minor surgery. Local anesthetic will be injected in the eyelid area. You may feel a slight pinch during this step, but after that, the anesthesia will take effect, so you will not feel any pain during the surgery.
The amount of time taken for a double eyelid surgical process usually depends on techniques being used. For example, if you undergo inner corner eye extension, it will take only 15 minutes. However, if you undergo double eyelid surgery with inner corner eye extension it may take approximately 45 minutes. For those who have various eye-related problems, this may take up to 2-3 hours. Ultimately, the complication depends on the problem for each patient.

Self Care Tips After Double Eyelid Surgery
After double eyelid surgery, it is important to apply a cold compress continuously to reduce swelling and promote faster wound healing. If there is any oozing of blood along the incision, you can use a clean gauze to gently press on the area until the bleeding stops. It is also recommended to sleep with your head elevated on a high pillow to help reduce eyelid swelling.
As the microlaser is used for surgery, this leads to blood vessels constriction. Applying a cold compress helps prevent them from dilating, which reduces the risk of bruising or recurrent bleeding. It is recommended to apply a cold compress for the first 3 days, then take a break on days 4 and 5. Starting on day 6, switch to a warm compress and continue for up to one month, or as adviced by the doctor.
It is recommended to avoid wearing contact lenses for at least a month after double eyelid surgery. The main reason is to prevent irritation or inflammation of the inner eye membrane, which could potentially cause post-surgical swelling.
After double eyelid surgery, it is advisable to avoid fermented foods, eggs, seafood, and alcohol for three weeks. These foods may trigger inflammation, leading to increased swelling or a higher risk of infection. Additionally, alcohol can affect blood clotting, which may slow down the healing process.

It is crucial to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sunlight, which may cause irritation as well as dust and dirt that could lead to infection. This helps reduce risks of exposure to contaminants and allows the wound to heal more quickly.
