The consequences of double eyelid surgery during menstruation

Double eyelids are considered a kind of beauty by many people, so double eyelid surgery is becoming more and more popular, but many people don’t know whether this surgery can be performed during menstruation. The answer is of course no, because menstruation is the period when the precursor activator of plasminogen in women’s blood increases to the maximum value, and double eyelid surgery can cause bleeding and even infection, and in severe cases can cause a series of diseases.

1. Can I have double eyelid surgery during menstruation?

You cannot have double eyelid surgery during menstruation.

2. The harm of double eyelid surgery during menstruation to the body

Under normal circumstances, blood clots will form quickly on the wound after plastic surgery. When women are menstruating, the precursor activators of plasminogen in their blood increase to the maximum value, which will destroy the blood clots in the surgical wound and cause bleeding, or prolong the bleeding time. In addition, it may also allow bacteria to take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause wound infection.

3. How long after menstruation can I get double eyelids?

There are fibrin with coagulation effect and plasminogen precursor activator with hemolysis effect in human blood. Only when these two substances are kept in balance can the blood flow normally. During menstruation, the amount of precursor activators in women's blood and uterus increases greatly, which can cause periodic uterine bleeding. In order to prevent wound infection after double eyelid surgery, it is recommended to perform the surgery three days after the menstruation stops.

4. What should I pay attention to when having double eyelid surgery?

1. Do not remove the gauze forcibly after double eyelid surgery

Generally, the wound will be wrapped with gauze after the operation, and it will not be removed until 24 hours later. Do not use force when removing it. If the gauze and blood are stuck together when removing it, do not remove it forcibly to avoid bleeding from the wound.

2. Avoid getting the wound wet

Do not let the wound come into contact with water before removing the stitches to avoid infection. If there is secretion on the eyes, you can use a cotton swab dipped in saline to clean it gently. You can apply a little erythromycin ointment to your eyelids every day.

3. Postoperative swelling reduction

Within 24 hours after surgery, using a towel and ice cubes to cool the wound can reduce swelling and prevent bleeding. After 24 hours, use hot compresses to reduce swelling.

4. Pay attention to recovery work

You should pay attention to rest three days before the operation to avoid excessive fatigue of the eyes. Try not to watch TV, play with mobile phones, use computers, read books or newspapers for a long time. When sleeping, raise the pillow a little higher to avoid aggravating eye edema. During the eye recovery period, strengthen eye muscle exercises and try to look upwards. This will help you recover faster, but do not over-exercise.
