When considering plastic surgery, many people ask about scarring. Indeed, if surgery leaves unsightly scars instead of enhancing beauty, it defeats the purpose. So which procedures are prone to scarring? Do you know?And how can they be avoided?
Eyes:
Double Eyelid Surgery
Suture, incision, and three-point techniques are popular double eyelid procedures. Among these, incision-based surgery involves greater trauma. Improper surgical technique or post-operative care can easily lead to scarring.After incision-based double eyelid surgery, a very fine scar may be visible on the upper eyelid when the eyes are closed in the short term. However, the scar is not visible when the eyes are open. Approximately six months to a year later, the scar will gradually fade, transforming into a crease that blends into the natural double eyelid fold.
Eyelid Crease Surgery
Eyelid crease surgery will inevitably leave an incision scar. However, with a skilled surgeon and proper aftercare, the scar will gradually fade. The scar will be visible for 1-2 months post-surgery.Over time, as the wound heals, the incision scar will gradually fade from red to white, becoming increasingly inconspicuous. With foundation makeup, the scar is generally unnoticeable to others.However, incisions are typically placed in discreet locations such as the inframammary fold, axilla, or subareolar area. These sites are generally difficult to detect, and as time passes, the scars gradually fade, making them even less noticeable. How to Minimize Postoperative Scarring A crucial factor in scar formation is the selection of the hospital and surgeon, as their technical expertise directly influences postoperative scar healing.Therefore, careful consideration of the hospital and surgeon is essential. Furthermore, postoperative care is a crucial, frequently emphasized requirement.
Eye Care: Apply cold compresses to the incision for 3 days post-surgery. During recovery, avoid excessive eye strain and refrain from touching the incision to prevent bacterial infection. Avoid spicy and greasy foods; consume light, bland meals instead.
Breast Care: Maintain the prescribed position for one week post-surgery. Receive professional breast massage and care for one month. Gentle exercises like yoga may resume after one month, but avoid excessive arm stretching during recovery. Consistent breast massage for over three months accelerates the restoration of post-operative breast softness.
