Side Effects and Complications
Common side effects and complications include:
1. Swelling and Bruising: Varying degrees of swelling and bruising around the eyes will appear after surgery, generally subsiding gradually within 1 to 2 weeks.
2. Infection: If sterilization is not strict during the surgical procedure or if post-operative care is improper, infection may occur, manifesting as local redness, swelling, pain, and fever.
3. Displacement of Artificial Dermis: During the post-operative recovery process, the artificial dermis may shift, resulting in an unnatural appearance of the aegyo-sal or asymmetry between both sides.
4. Allergic Reactions: Although artificial dermis has good biocompatibility, a very small number of people may experience allergic reactions, such as local itching and rashes.
In addition to the aforementioned swelling, bruising, infection, displacement, and allergic reactions, local induration may also occur. This may be formed during the absorption process of the artificial dermis; it generally softens over time, but in rare cases, it may persist long-term, affecting the appearance of the aegyo-sal.
