Can people with myopia undergo double eyelid surgery?
Myopia has absolutely no impact on double eyelid surgery! This is because the procedure primarily operates between the skin surface and the dermis layer, at most potentially touching the levator muscle. Myopia primarily involves the relationship between the eyeball and the retina. Double eyelid surgery does not touch these areas at all, so there is no question of it affecting vision.Does double eyelid surgery affect vision?
Experts confirm that under normal circumstances, double eyelid surgery does not affect vision. This is because the procedure is performed on the eyelid area and does not damage the eyeball, thus preserving visual function!
While double eyelid surgery itself does not affect vision, complications can arise if the surgical environment lacks thorough sterilization or if performed by an inexperienced surgeon. Potential complications include retrobulbar hematoma, corneal puncture, or acute inflammation, which could potentially affect vision. Therefore, careful consideration is essential when selecting a plastic surgery clinic for double eyelid surgery!
How much does double eyelid surgery cost?
Reputable plastic surgery hospitals typically charge reasonable prices for double eyelid surgery, avoiding lowball offers to attract customers. Costs generally fall within an acceptable range. Factors influencing price include: the surgeon's unique style, aesthetic preferences, surgical technique, precision, as well as the hospital's grade and service-related soft value-added elements.

Patients should consult their surgeon post-surgery for specific guidance. The timing generally depends on the success of the procedure and individual skin conditions.
Post-operative care and precautions for eyelid surgery include the following:
1. Localized swelling and bruising may occur around the eyelids after double eyelid surgery. These typically subside on their own without special treatment. The duration for swelling and bruising to fade varies by individual constitution and physical condition, generally ranging from 2 weeks to 2 months. Patients over 30 may experience a longer recovery period.
2. Avoid excessive physical activity for the first 48 hours to prevent bleeding in the surgical area. Sleep with your head elevated and reduce sleep duration slightly to minimize eyelid swelling.
3. Apply ice packs to the surgical area twice daily for 20 minutes each session within the first 48 hours to minimize local bleeding, oozing, and swelling. Begin warm compresses after 72 hours to promote bruise resolution and swelling reduction.
4. Minor bleeding may occur at the incision site on the day of surgery. Apply gentle pressure with your palm over the gauze dressing for 15–30 minutes to stop bleeding. If bleeding persists, eyelids become significantly swollen, the gauze dressing is completely saturated with blood, the eyeball feels painful and swollen, or vision becomes blurred, seek emergency treatment at our hospital immediately.
