Vital After Care Tips After Cosmetic Eye Surgery
Pari Shams shares all you need to know
We live in a time when the medical field has made some major advances and it is now possible to retain a younger-looking appearance without any major surgery or extensive periods of recovery time. One of the most common cosmetic procedures today is eye bag removal surgery. This is because it is the kind of procedure that can be both cosmetic and functional when the sagging skin is starting to block your vision.
The team at Pari Shams can take care to remove the excess skin simply by making a small incision. As there are no more long stays in hospital after you’ve had this kind of surgery, they’ve shared some tips on what to do at home to ensure that your recovery period is quick and pain-free.
“While your wound is still healing, it is vital that you keep the area clean and dry. Patients do wear eye pads and therefore they can apply an icepack to the treated area to help to reduce the swelling after surgery. When you do clean your eyes, it is best to work with a gentle hand to prevent any injury in the area or to cause any bruises. We also give our patients eye drops or even in some cases eye ointments to apply to their eyes. When they do, it is important to ensure that you work hygienically and to make sure that you don’t infect your eye,” says Pari Shams, the consultant oculoplastic surgeon at the reputable clinic.
Shams also advises that patients don’t rub their eyes as this friction can cause your wounds to open up. It is also best to avoid inserting anything into your eye that might cause friction or even infection. Thus, if you wear contact lenses, it is better to rather opt for glasses for about two weeks after your surgery.
The main focus during aftercare is to prevent swelling and to reduce the existing swelling. Another beneficial step is to take is to sleep with your head higher than your heart. Simply by elevating your head slightly, you can prevent swelling from developing during the night.
“As with any other kind of surgery, we also recommend that our patients opt for a healthy lifestyle. Our eating habits and the way we live our lives have a tremendous impact on our appearance and the rate at which the body recovers. So, stop smoking, slow down on the alcoholic beverages and give your body all it needs to recover,” Shams shares the last of the tips they have to offer.
