OCULOPLASTY IN MALAGA

Dr. Francisco Zamorano

The eyelids perform an essential function: protecting the ocular surface, maintaining eye hydration, and participating in facial expression. There are various pathologies that can affect its position, mobility or integrity, with both functional and aesthetic consequences.

OCULOPLASTY SURGERY MALAGA

A good choice

Corrects functional and aesthetic eyelid problems with the precision of an oculoplastic surgery specialist.

Eyelid retraction

Lower eyelid retraction can produce a sad, tired, or aged appearance of the eye, and is often accompanied by tearing, irritation, and eye exposure that increases the risk of dryness and infections.

The main cause is usually transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty surgery, although it can also be due to trauma or scarring. The treatment consists of repositioning the eyelid at its correct anatomical height, improving function, eye protection, and the aesthetics of the eye.

Eyelid Tumors

The skin of the eyelids is constantly exposed to sunlight, making them a common area for the development of skin tumors. Most are benign lesions, but their removal requires precision to preserve both eyelid function and aesthetics.

In the case of malignant tumors, early diagnosis and complete resection are essential, as some can compromise the patient’s life if they spread. The surgical objective is always threefold: to completely remove the tumor, to ensure good eye closure, and to achieve a harmonious aesthetic result.

Malposition of the eyelid

The eyelids can suffer a loss of tension over the years or in the face of severe trauma. When this loss of tension causes an eversion it is called ectropion and when it turns inwards, entropion. These highly frequent alterations cause dryness, discomfort and irritation of the ocular surface that can become chronic.

In addition, it can cause the tear not to be properly collected and the patient to experience constant tearing. The treatment is surgical, and aims to restore the natural position and tension of the eyelid, without the need for hospitalization.

Lagophthalmos

Lagophthalmos is the inability to completely close the eyelids and can appear as a secondary complication of upper blepharoplasty, causing dryness and alterations in the ocular surface. It can also be caused by facial paralysis. In this case, in addition to the closure defect, the lower eyelid may lose strength and descend from its usual position.

All of this can be associated with constant tearing that significantly impacts the patient’s daily life. Understanding the different ways in which lagophthalmos can affect the eyes is essential to developing an individualized treatment plan for each situation.
