Downtime for two-point double implantation
The two-point implantation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures to convert a single eyelid into a double eyelid. Because it is performed in the eye area, many patients are very concerned about the downtime after the procedure. Downtime generally refers to the period of time after a surgery or treatment until the body is overloaded and returns to normal daily activities.
Therefore, the downtime for double implantation 2-point clamping is generally considered to be "about 1 week to 10 days," although of course there are individual differences. Swelling, internal bleeding, and pain may occur after the surgery, and although there are individual differences regarding swelling and internal bleeding, they will gradually lessen within 2 to 3 days after the surgery. Pain may be felt after the anesthesia wears off, but it can usually be alleviated with the use of painkillers, so there is no need to worry about it.
During the downtime, it is also advisable to rest as much as possible for 2-3 days. If swelling is particularly strong, it can be alleviated by lightly cooling the area. It is also important to keep the surgical site clean and disinfected with clean gauze to avoid direct contact with the surgical site, and avoid cosmetics. Care should be taken when removing the eye patch, as it may be necessary to wear an eye patch. Although you can gradually return to your normal life after the downtime, avoid excessive or strenuous exercise and hot places such as saunas and baths for about a week after the surgery. Also, if you experience any discomfort or pain at the surgical site, consult your doctor immediately.
In general, the downtime for double implantation 2-point clamping is relatively short, making it an easy procedure for many people. However, aftercare and following the doctor's instructions after surgery are extremely important to ensure early recovery and prevent postoperative problems.

What are the characteristics of people who have prolonged downtime for cosmetic surgery?
The following are characteristics of people who have prolonged downtime for cosmetic surgery. Please note that there are individual differences, so please read this only as a reference.
| feature | Description. |
|---|---|
| age | The older the patient, the longer the downtime may be. Aging reduces skin elasticity, so it takes longer for the surgical site to tighten. |
| physical condition | Underlying or pre-existing medical conditions may slow healing. Fatigue, stress, and nutritional deficiencies can also prolong downtime. |
| surgical site | If the surgical site is complex, downtime may be prolonged. For example, nose reshaping and liposuction, for which the surgical site is extensive, may result in prolonged downtime. |
| Intensity of pain and swelling | If the surgical site is painful and swollen, downtime may be prolonged. If the swelling does not go down with the use of ice packs or medications, or if painkillers do not relieve the pain, the patient should consult a physician. |
| after-sales service | Inadequate aftercare after surgery may result in prolonged downtime. Failure to adhere to exercise and diet restrictions after surgery or failure to keep the wound clean may lead to complications such as infection and bleeding. |
