Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of surgery does 'filial piety plastic surgery' usually refer to?
It mainly refers to surgery that improves the droopiness of parents' eyelids. Middle-aged eye surgery, often paid for and recommended by children to resolve issues like the corners of the eyes becoming sore or looking tired with age, is commonly called 'filial piety plastic surgery'.
How is eyelid ptosis surgery performed?
It is performed by directly excising the sagging skin above the eye. To solve problems such as sagging upper eyelid skin obstructing vision or making one look older, the stretched skin tissue is precisely removed to correct the eye shape.
When are the stitches removed after surgery?
Usually, the stitches are removed about 7 days after the surgery. After the stitches are removed, recovery gradually accelerates, and the process of settling into a natural eye shape officially begins, so it is best to rest and recover.
When does the major swelling subside after eyelid ptosis surgery?
Major swelling usually subsides mostly within about 1 to 2 weeks. After this period, as the swelling goes down, the eye shape becomes much more natural, and it is best to wait with patience until it fully settles.
