Objective To explore the effect of individualized nursing plan combined with facial muscle function training on eyelid morphology recovery and patient satisfaction in patients after eyelid tumor resection. Methods A total of 64 patients who underwent eyelid tumor resection admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology, Fuyu County People's Hospital from June 2023 to June 2025 were selected. According to different nursing plans, they were divided into the control group and the observation group, with 32 patients in each group. The control group received conventional nursing, and the observation group received individualized nursing plan combined with facial muscle function training on the basis of conventional nursing. The eyelid morphology recovery, eyelid function, aesthetic effect and satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results After nursing, the scores of all indicators related to eyelid morphology recovery in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 4 weeks after nursing, the indexes of eyelid function in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 4 weeks after nursing, the scores of all aesthetic effect indicators in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 4 weeks after nursing, the scores of all satisfaction indicators in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Individualized nursing plan combined with facial muscle function training can effectively promote eyelid morphology recovery of patients after eyelid tumor resection, improve eyelid function status, enhance postoperative aesthetic effect and increase patient satisfaction.
