Is swelling always accompanied after double implantation? How to effectively deal with and care for it

For many people, the creation of double eyelids to make the eyes appear larger is a beauty enhancement procedure. The double implantation technique is widely known for creating beautiful double eyelids with minimal invasion.

However, the concern of post-procedure swelling is a factor that makes many people hesitant to consider this procedure. Here, we will discuss the double implantation technique and explain in detail the causes and countermeasures for swelling after the procedure. We also provide information on how to choose an appropriate aftercare procedure to minimize swelling and how to choose a cosmetic clinic where you can safely undergo the double implantation procedure.

 

Does double implantation always cause swelling?

The double implantation technique is a non-invasive double eyelid creation procedure that does not require incisions and is particularly popular among Asians. This procedure is widely used as a means of enhancing self-confidence by making the eyes appear larger and the expression brighter.

Causes of swelling after double implantation

Swelling after a double implantation is part of the general reaction after the procedure, and most people experience this phenomenon for a period of time. In most cases, swelling peaks the next day or two, and begins to subside within a week or so after the procedure, and settles completely within a month or so.

However, understanding what causes this swelling and how to manage it is important for a more comfortable postoperative recovery period.

cause	Description.
Effects of surgery	Double implantation involves physical intervention, which may cause swelling as a defensive response of the body
Inadequate postoperative care	Heavy exercise, strong friction on the treated area, lack of postoperative cleanliness, and premature makeup may increase swelling and pain
Individual constitution and health status	Swelling tendency, temporary stress, irregular sleep patterns, etc. may reduce the body's ability to recover and cause prolonged swelling

First of all, although the double implantation procedure is not invasive, it still involves a physical intervention of threading inside the skin. This procedure triggers the body's defense response and may result in swelling. This is a natural reaction and part of the body's process of adaptation and recovery to new circumstances.

Second, if postoperative care is improper, this may contribute to prolonged swelling. For example, strenuous exercise or vigorous rubbing of the treated area immediately after the procedure may increase swelling and pain. In addition, improper postoperative care, such as starting eye makeup too early or increasing the risk of infection by not keeping the treated area sufficiently clean, can all contribute to further swelling.

In addition, the degree of swelling depends on the individual's constitution and health. Some people may be more prone to swelling than others, or temporary stress or irregular sleep patterns may reduce the body's ability to recover and cause prolonged swelling.

For these reasons, swelling after double implantation may be difficult to avoid entirely, but its effects can be minimized with proper postoperative care and a healthy lifestyle.

 

How to reduce swelling after double implantation?

As mentioned above, it is important to understand that swelling after a double implantation is both a natural reaction and temporary, but the symptoms can be uncomfortable. Therefore, it will be easier to alleviate some of this swelling after the procedure through proper aftercare and home care.

However, it is of utmost importance to always follow the specific instructions of the physician in each individual case. While care may be effective, it is strongly recommended that you contact the clinic immediately if you notice any irregularities or if the swelling persists longer than expected.

cooling

Since the first 24-48 hours immediately after the procedure are the peak, the swelling and discomfort can be reduced by applying a cooling pad to the treated area during this period. Cooling reduces blood flow, which in turn reduces swelling and pain. However, ice packs wrapped in cloth should be used, as applying ice directly to the skin may cause damage due to the skin being too cold.

Maintain head height

In particular, using a pillow so that the head is higher than the heart when sleeping reduces swelling as gravity reduces the flow of blood to the treated area.

Limit alcohol and salt intake

Alcohol and high-salt foods retain water in the body and can cause swelling; therefore, temporary postoperative restrictions on their intake are recommended. If ingestion is unavoidable, it should be kept to a minimum or discussed with the clinic.

Make-up pauses

Makeup applied to the treated area prevents the skin from breathing properly and slows recovery. It may also increase the risk of infection. Ask the clinic to check the progress of your treatment each time and ask when you can use makeup.

 

I want to minimize the swelling of double implantation! How to prevent it?

Even though double implantation is a less burdensome and painless procedure, it inevitably involves swelling. However, the amount of swelling depends greatly on the preparations that should be done before the procedure. If you are considering double implantation, it is important to understand the specific points to prevent swelling before the procedure.

point	Description.
Healthy Rhythm of Life	A balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management.
Limit alcohol and tobacco consumption	Alcohol and tobacco aggravate blood flow. Avoid or minimize intake 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Communication with Physicians	Communicate all questions and concerns to the physician prior to the procedure, and be sure to inform the physician of any medications, supplements, or pre-existing conditions that you are currently taking.
Pre-treatment care	If care is ordered by a physician, it is carried out in accordance with the physician's orders, if any.

First, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle rhythm before the treatment. Physical condition directly affects your ability to recover after the treatment. A well-balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management will keep your entire body in a healthy state, so it is a good idea to be aware of this.

We also recommend that you avoid alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol and cigarettes can aggravate blood flow and slow down the healing process, so we recommend avoiding or minimizing these two weeks prior to the procedure.

The next step is to communicate well with the physician during the consultation. During the pre-procedure consultation, it is important to inform the doctor of all questions and concerns regarding the procedure. You should also be sure to tell the doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently taking and any pre-existing medical conditions.

Finally, pre-procedure care should be implemented as needed. Prior to the procedure, any care directed by the physician (e.g., refraining from using certain cleansers or cosmetics) should be implemented accordingly.

These measures can prevent swelling after double implantation. However, postoperative swelling is not entirely absent. It is a natural reaction and a sign of a successful procedure. However, with proper preoperative care and preparation, it is possible to minimize that swelling and have a comfortable recovery period.

 

What to do if there is prolonged swelling after a double implantation procedure

If the swelling after a double implantation lasts longer than expected or causes unexpected reactions, it may be a sign that proper care is needed. However, if you are at all concerned, remember to consult your doctor immediately.

Prolonged swelling should not be handled solely on one's own judgment. Each individual's symptoms and reactions are unique and require professional advice. You should always remember that your health and safety are paramount and your doctor should be contacted as soon as possible. Below we offer some advice for prolonged swelling.

Identify the cause of prolonged swelling

This involves many factors, including the patient's own health, lifestyle, and post-procedure care regimen. Improper aftercare, alcohol consumption, not getting enough rest, etc. can prolong swelling. Do not judge the symptoms or situation on your own, but rather have a thorough examination by your doctor to determine the cause of the swelling.

Revise home care to reduce swelling.

Even if the care methods you use at home yourself are correct, they can be counterproductive if the process is done incorrectly or to an excessive degree. In particular, the use of cooling pads, moderate rest, and sleeping on high pillows can vary from person to person, so be sure to incorporate the correct methods of care.

Do not hesitate to consult a doctor if you see anything unusual.

If you feel any discomfort or find anything unusual, even before follow-up appointments such as a progress check, please consult with us immediately. If symptoms do not improve, ask the doctor to reexamine your symptoms and to perform additional treatment if necessary.
