Abstract: Objective To propose a standardized process for comprehensive management after wrinkle surgery， and to investigate the timing of hair washing post-surgery and its effect on overall postoperative complications and patient comfort. Methods  A review was conducted on 66 patients who underwent facial wrinkle surgery from December 2020 to August 2024， and the comprehensive management process for patients after wrinkle surgery was summarized. Simultaneously， patients were randomly divided into three groups： Pre-drain removal hair washing group （washing hair within 3 days postsurgery）， post-drain removal hair washing group（ washing hair between 3 to 7 days post-surgery）， and post-suture removal hair washing group （washing hair after 7 days post-surgery）. The incidences of wound redness and swelling， scar hyperplasia， and the postoperative comfort level of patients in the three groups were all collected. Results  The comprehensive management processes for patients after wrinkle surgery， including postoperative dressing methods， hair washing techniques， nursing care， positioning， follow-up procedures， postoperative diet， medication， and scar care， were all recorded in detail. In the three groups with different hair washing timings， there were no significant differences in the incidence of wound redness， swelling， or scar hyperplasia. However， in the first three days post-surgery， the pre-drain removal hair washing group reported the highest level of comfort. Conclusion  Based on the results of the randomized controlled study， hair can be washed before the removal of the drainage tube after facial wrinkle surgery. The ultimate effect of facial wrinkle surgery is related to comprehensive postoperative management， and the level of patient comfort significantly determines overall satisfaction with the treatment process.
