It’s been a little over one month and one week since I had incisional double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and ptosis correction. I’m looking into revision double eyelid surgery. Are these eyes something that could look okay after revision? Right now I just feel so hopeless, and I resent myself so much. The hospital just says it’s swelling and tells me to wait, but is it normal for swelling to be this bad after one month? If there’s anyone similar to me, please let me know, as if you’re saving one person. I’m stressed every day after double eyelid surgery. The mucosal eversion is severe too, and even considering it was incisional surgery, I feel like the swelling is way too severe.
2103250 Have you tried any swelling-reduction care after surgery?? How about trying a 1-hour walk twice a day? Try a low-sodium diet too.. They say pumpkin juice is good too, so try drinking 2 a day.. Try taking one One Quick swelling-reduction supplement every day too.. Cold compresses twice a day too… Contact the hospital and if you can get scar laser treatment, let’s get it I think it wouldn’t be bad to wait just until exactly 2 months. It must be stressful because the mucous membrane is everted
2103250 [@2103250] The epicanthoplasty does look like it might be a side effect, because of the wrinkling underneath
액체괴물 [@2103250] I really worked hard on compresses and walking Is there really no way for the mucous membrane..? Is revision surgery the answer
액체괴물 [@2103250] Ah, those wrinkles underneath were there from before the epicanthoplasty!!
2103250 [@2103250] Ah, then that’s a relief. I didn’t know it was originally there First of all, I’m also someone getting double eyelid surgery next week, so I don’t know well, but I’m not sure whether it’s a side effect from ptosis correction or whether you constitutionally swell a lot And I don’t think the epicanthoplasty shape is bad. I think it would be good to apply ointment only to the red area. When my friend had incisional surgery, the swelling was really severe, and even she said it takes 1 year, so I don’t think you can make a conclusion yet. Did you ask the hospital about the redness like that, and did they not mention anything about scar-tissue laser or prescribing ointment?
2103250 [@Liquid Monster] I recommend consistently doing compresses + walking as a basic routine If you’ve had other procedures before, was the swelling not severe then???
액체괴물 [@2103250] Yes.. They said it would disappear with time, so I’m just going to say I want to get scar-tissue injections or laser.. They said if the swelling is this bad at one month, revision surgery is needed..
액체괴물 [@2103250] This was my first time getting anything done, so I don’t know what kind of constitution I have..
액체괴물 [@2103250] Getting a swelling injection now probably wouldn't mean anything, right??
2103250 [@Liquid Monster] Doesn’t it sting??? The canthoplasty area alone looks red. Is it only red when you look at it, or does it sting too??
액체괴물 [@2103250] It stings
액체괴물 [@2103250] Is it a side effect..?
2103250 [@액체괴물] From what I can see, the eyelid area looks like swelling, and I think it'd be good to watch it for up to 2 months. And since you said the front part stings I think it's inflammation. Applying ointment would probably be the most direct... Be careful not to let water get in, and I think applying ointment would be best. Or it might be better to go in person to one plastic surgery clinic / one ophthalmology clinic and ask..! For ophthalmology, call and say you had cosmetic surgery, and ask whether they can examine you to see if it's inflammation..!
2103250 [@액체괴물] It's my first time hearing about a swelling injection too so I don't know if it works immediately
액체괴물 [@2103250] Thank you!! I'll ask the clinic Thank you so much
2103250 [@2103250] No I'm in the same situation too.. Depending on my double-eyelid surgery results next week, I might end up worrying a lot too It's my first surgery too, so I'm anxious.. For now, the red area definitely looks like inflammation unrelated to the cosmetic surgery! An injection would probably be good too, but I personally tend to like medication I think it would be good to apply ointment consistently with a clean cotton swab. And swelling really varies so much from person to person, so setting aside the plastic surgery clinic's position, I think it would be good to watch it for up to 3 months. With incisional surgery, swelling varies hugely.. If you keep managing it consistently, I think you'll worry less! But actually, they say swelling also differs depending on the director's skill.. though they also say you can't ignore individual constitution. Try taking the supplements I wrote above too.. Just endure it up to 3 months at most Overall, it feels like the swelling still hasn't gone down yet.
2103250 [@2103250] I think it would be better for the swelling to go down first before scar laser treatment + since the red area looks like inflammation, I recommend looking into an ointment and applying it every day..!! Something like an antibiotic ointment..!
사류사류 Oh no... Since they say it's swelling, you should wait and see for now, but for one month post-op, it's pretty swollen and the mucous membrane is everted. Do you maybe eat salty food?
액체괴물 [@사류사류] I haven't really been managing my diet separately..
사류사류 [@액체괴물] For now, try eating a bit less salty, buy and take some swelling medicine as a mental-health expense... Try things like pumpkin juice too. If you touch it again for no reason, it could get even worse, so if the clinic says it's swelling, the best thing is probably to try to reduce the swelling
액체괴물 [@사류사류] Okay.. For now everyone says to wait until the swelling goes down, so I'm going to try waiting..
다슬기이 ㅋ Your eyes look so painful...
