The inner and outer canthoplasty is commonly known as eye opening. It corrects and enlarges the inner and outer corners of the eye respectively through surgery to remove epicanthus and extend the horizontal length of the eye fissure to enlarge the eyes. So, will the outer corners of the eyes retract? Let's follow Xiao Bian to learn more.

Many people hope that their eyes can be enlarged by opening the outer corner of the eye, which is a commonly used lateral canthoplasty. However, the width of the outer corner of the eye should not be too long. If the length of the incision is not well controlled, scars will be left. Not only will the postoperative effect be bad, but also the eye will lose its sense of harmony.

Whether the external corner of the eye will retract is related to the choice of doctors. Some doctors are not good enough. They open too big when they open a big eye fissure, or stop bleeding thoroughly during the operation, which will lead to retraction. In fact, any operation has certain risks and hidden dangers, so in order to avoid complications and to prevent postoperative retraction, we must pay attention to the regular hospital to do this operation.

Of course, it is also necessary to do a good job in postoperative nursing. Generally, it is necessary to keep the skin free of water within 7 days after the operation to ensure the cleanness of the operation site, so as to prevent infection. If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline; This can also avoid postoperative retraction.
