Does it hurt to open the inner canthus? Does it hurt to remove the stitches after opening the inner canthus?

Canthoplasty can improve eye problems such as wide distance between eyes, epicanthus, small eyes, uneven eyes, etc. It is one of the most popular plastic surgeries and many people who love beauty want to have canthoplasty surgery.

During the canthoplasty surgery, you will not feel any pain, because you will be anesthetized before the surgery, so you don't have to worry about the pain during the canthoplasty surgery. During the canthoplasty surgery, you can even feel the doctor's operation at the inner corner of your eye, but it will not hurt at all.

The wound will be a little painful on the day of the inner canthus opening stitches removal, but it will gradually ease over time. Beauty-conscious babies should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-like drugs will aggravate the bleeding of the wound. Although it will be a little painful to remove the stitches after the inner canthus opening, the pain will be greatly relieved if you do a good job of postoperative care, avoid excessive use of the eyes, and ensure that the body has enough rest time to repair the wound.

The esophageal canthoplasty uses local injection anesthesia. When the anesthesia is injected, the patient will feel a certain amount of pain, but it will not hurt if you endure it. You need to relax when the anesthesia is injected. After the tension is reduced, it will not feel so painful. In addition, regular hospitals have professional anesthesiologists, and the anesthesiologists' professional operation can also reduce your pain as much as possible. Even if the anesthetic effect wears off, you will not feel any pain.

1. No need to use cosmetics

If you want to prevent scars from getting deeper after canthoplasty, it is best to reduce the use of cosmetics, because the skin is more fragile during the recovery period of canthoplasty, and the fragrances, pigments, and preservatives contained in various cosmetics mostly contain different heavy metals, such as lead, bismuth, mercury, silver, iron, etc. When the wound heals, it will be affected by these ingredients and cause skin pigmentation. Some cosmetics contain photosensitive substances, which will also make skin cells sensitive to ultraviolet rays in the sun and darken the color, forming dark scars. Therefore, during the period of scar care, you need to avoid using cosmetics.

2. Avoid certain foods

In terms of diet, after the epicanthoplasty, you should try to avoid spicy food to avoid irritating the wound and causing scar proliferation. For people who have undergone epicanthoplasty, tobacco, alcohol, chili peppers, mutton, raw garlic, ginger, mustard, and coffee are all irritating foods. These irritants will cause the body to differentiate too many keratinized cells and form fibrous tissue, which will manifest as red lumps that cause scar proliferation. Therefore, it is best for beauty lovers to avoid eating these irritating foods after the epicanthoplasty to avoid causing scars and causing scar proliferation.
