Comprehensive Eye Surgery
Side Effects and Complications01Will eye comprehensive surgery leave scars?Key Points: Many people develop scars after inner corner eye surgery. This may be caused by improper incision and suturing by the surgeon or by the individual's tendency to form scars. It can be resolved through scar injection therapy or laser scar removal.1. Why is it easy to leave scars after inner corner eye surgery?Inner corner eye surgery mainly improves the shape of the inner corner by adjusting the position of the skin around the eye corner. However, because the inner corner moves with blinking, its unique anatomical shape and ligament structure, combined with the tendency to accumulate eye secretions, make it prone to scarring.Around one month after surgery, hypertrophic scars in the inner corner are most obvious. You may feel a raised area, hardness upon touch, or even itching. Current technology cannot completely avoid scarring in the inner corner but can reduce the probability.2. What to do if scars form in the inner corner?① After wound healing, apply scar removal gel to prevent scarring.② Hypertrophic scars appearing around one month post-surgery may gradually fade over time. Avoid stimulating the wound and consuming irritating foods; observe first.③ If hypertrophic scars do not subside, scar injections can relieve them.④ If scar injections are ineffective, once the scar stabilizes, carbon dioxide laser scar removal can be used.⑤ Surgical scar revision is not recommended because inner corner scar revision is extremely difficult and repeated surgical stimulation may cause further hypertrophy.02What to do if the eyes cannot close after surgery?Key Points: Inability to close the eyes is a serious complication of eye comprehensive surgery, especially after ptosis correction. It is caused by incomplete recovery or surgical failure. Conservative treatment can improve the condition; severe cases may require revision surgery.1. Why does incomplete eye closure occur?① Postoperative swelling has not subsided.② Excessive removal of eyelid skin during surgery or overly tight suturing, accompanied by ectropion.③ Overcorrection of ptosis surgery.④ Scar traction.⑤ Excessive removal during lower eyelid lowering surgery.Degree of inability to close eyes2. What to do if incomplete eye closure occurs?① Conservative treatment: Protect the cornea by applying antibiotic ointment and dropping plenty of eye drops before sleep. Cover the eye with gauze moistened with saline to reduce tear evaporation. Use bandage lenses to protect the cornea.② If incomplete closure persists after 3 months post-surgery, or if surgical failure is detected immediately, perform surgical repair as soon as possible, such as scar deformity correction or repositioning of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.03Why does the outer corner easily retract after surgery?Key Points: Due to the anatomical structure of the outer corner and postoperative scarring, many people experience retraction of the outer corner after surgery. This is almost unavoidable but can be minimized by choosing the right surgical technique and postoperative care.1. Why does the outer corner retract?Due to local swelling, scar hypertrophy, and tissue tension, some degree of retraction after recovery is normal. Currently, this technology in China is not fully mature, and there are almost no surgeons who can guarantee stable non-retraction. Therefore, it is essential to choose a surgeon with extensive experience or one from a top-tier (Grade 3A) hospital.2. How to avoid retraction affecting surgical results?If conditions permit, open the outer corner 1–2 mm wider during surgery to allow for retraction. Perform thorough postoperative care to minimize swelling and scar hypertrophy.04Can everyone undergo eye comprehensive surgery?Key Points: Although eye comprehensive surgery can refine eye details, it is not suitable for everyone. If you belong to a contraindicated group, the surgery may affect your eye and overall health.1. Children in the growth and development stage.2. Individuals with lesions in organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, or with blood or immune system disorders.3. Individuals with severe keloid tendencies.4. Women during menstruation, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.5. Individuals with excessively protruding or recessed eyeballs or eyelid retraction caused by various reasons.6. Individuals with moderate to severe ptosis.7. Individuals with facial paralysis causing incomplete eye closure.8. Individuals with congenital amblyopia, or those with uncontrolled or self-healing acute or chronic infections around the eyes.PtosisPrice01What is a reasonable price for eye comprehensive surgery?Key Points: The general price for a single session of eye comprehensive surgery ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 RMB. The price depends on the operating surgeon, the selected procedures, and the difficulty of the surgery. Patients can also check specific local prices on platforms like Meituan Dianping.1. What is the normal price range for eye comprehensive surgery?The normal price range for eye comprehensive surgery is generally between 5,000 and 20,000 RMB. However, the price is closely related to the surgeon's level; more skilled surgeons charge higher fees but provide better results. Patients can choose based on their budget.Additionally, prices vary by region. Patients can search the project name on the Meituan Dianping homepage to view local price ranges.2. Factors affecting price① Operating SurgeonSurgeons can be classified as Chief Physicians, Hospital Directors, etc. Experienced surgeons naturally charge higher fees.② Selected ProceduresGenerally, incision double eyelid surgery costs 3,000–8,000 RMB, fixed-point double eyelid surgery costs 2,000–6,000 RMB, suture double eyelid surgery costs 2,000–5,000 RMB, lower eyelid lowering costs 3,000–10,000 RMB, and inner/outer corner opening costs 2,000–5,000 RMB. The more procedures combined, the higher the price.③ Surgical DifficultyPatients with poorer eye conditions, such as excess upper eyelid fat, loose skin, narrow eye fissures, or severely upturned eye corners, will face relatively higher prices.Is it suitable for me?01Can eye comprehensive surgery solve your problems?Key Points: Eye comprehensive surgery combines multiple eye plastic procedures to refine eye appearance. It is suitable for those wishing to improve single eyelids, ptosis, or epicanthal folds.1. What problems can eye comprehensive surgery solve?Eye comprehensive surgery combines various eye plastic procedures to refine eye appearance. Specific procedures include incision double eyelid, suture double eyelid, levator palpebrae superioris correction, upper eyelid skin/fat removal, inner corner opening, outer corner opening, lower eyelid lowering, and eyelash curling.2. I have one single eyelid and one double eyelid (asymmetrical eyes); can I undergo eye comprehensive surgery?Asymmetrical eyes or one single and one double eyelid can be corrected with eye comprehensive surgery. Double eyelids are determined by genetics; having one single and one double eyelid still falls under the category of double eyelids. People with this condition often have asymmetrical eyes, possibly caused by uneven fat distribution or uneven strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscles on both sides.This can be improved through incision double eyelid surgery combined with levator palpebrae superioris muscle strength correction or skin/fat removal surgery. Typically, surgery on both sides is necessary for asymmetrical eyes, as unilateral surgery may cause further asymmetry.Asymmetrical Eyes3. How to determine if I need inner corner opening?Patients with moderate to severe epicanthal folds are suitable for inner corner opening.Epicanthal fold, caruncleWhat is an epicanthal fold?Degree of epicanthal foldChoosing the Procedure01Which double eyelid procedure is suitable for me?Key Points: For thick upper eyelid fat, loose skin, or those wanting to combine multiple eye procedures, choose incision double eyelid. For larger eyes with thin upper eyelid skin and mild ptosis, choose fixed-point double eyelid. For eyes with no other shape issues who do not want an incision, choose suture double eyelid.Currently, common double eyelid procedures mainly include incision double eyelid, fixed-point double eyelid, and suture double eyelid.1. Duration of effect for the three procedures: Incision double eyelid is basically permanent; fixed-point double eyelid lasts 5–10 years; suture double eyelid has the shortest duration, lasting about 1–2 years.Principle of fixed-point double eyelid surgery2. Recovery period for the three procedures: Incision double eyelid has the longest recovery period, requiring 3–6 months; fixed-point double eyelid generally requires about 3 months; suture double eyelid has the shortest recovery, generally 1–2 months.Principle of suture double eyelid surgery3. Price of the three procedures: Incision double eyelid is the most expensive, costing 3,000–15,
