Surgeons and patients must work together to <a href=\"\/en\/speeding-up-your-recovery\/\">obtain the best results<\/a>; for this reason, I want to share a few essential guidelines to help you care for your surgical incisions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><h2><strong>Keeping your eyelid incisions clean\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2><p>Dry blood and dead skin can build up quickly around the sutures, predisposing to infection or increased swelling if the incision is not kept free of debris. Therefore, the first step in taking good care of your incisions is maintaining the area clean.<\/p><p>For this purpose, I recommend diluting a small amount of baby shampoo in a clean basin. Wet a clean or sterile gauze with the soapy water and cleanse the incision by carefully patting the area. It is important to avoid scraping the skin&#8217;s surface as this may easily open up the wound. Carefully dab the wound dry with a clean, soft gauze or cloth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8790faf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8790faf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1dd906\" data-id=\"a1dd906\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-38ee206\" data-id=\"38ee206\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eee1f07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eee1f07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/como-mantener-limpias-las-incisiones-en-los-parpados-despues-de-su-cirugia.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Keeping your eyelid incisions clean\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjExNzAsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuYXJ0ZWZhY2lhbC5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzEwXC9jb21vLW1hbnRlbmVyLWxpbXBpYXMtbGFzLWluY2lzaW9uZXMtZW4tbG9zLXBhcnBhZG9zLWRlc3B1ZXMtZGUtc3UtY2lydWdpYS53ZWJwIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 1024 683'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/como-mantener-limpias-las-incisiones-en-los-parpados-despues-de-su-cirugia.webp\" class=\"lazy-load attachment-large size-large wp-image-21170\" alt=\"Keeping your eyelid incisions clean\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/como-mantener-limpias-las-incisiones-en-los-parpados-despues-de-su-cirugia.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/como-mantener-limpias-las-incisiones-en-los-parpados-despues-de-su-cirugia-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.artefacial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/como-mantener-limpias-las-incisiones-en-los-parpados-despues-de-su-cirugia-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8501cdf\" data-id=\"8501cdf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b3f75b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1b3f75b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f904c00\" data-id=\"f904c00\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28462f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28462f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Applying medicated ointment on the eyelid incisions<\/strong><\/h2><p>A medicated ophthalmic ointment is prescribed to all patients after surgery.
