Among cosmetic and general surgical procedures, eyelid surgery might not be the one that immediately springs to mind. Eyelid Correction (แก้ ตา, which is the term in Thai) is a popular treatment that improves the appearance of the upper face and eyes. However, it is also sought after by people who suffer from medical or comfort difficulties related to the muscles surrounding their eyes. Aside from cosmetic changes, patients seek out such surgery for the following reasons.
Keeping Your Eyes From Dying
Insufficient tear production leads to dry eye syndrome, which compromises the health and resilience of the eyes. Maintaining healthy eyes requires tears. They safeguard your eyes from infections and remove foreign objects that could cause damage. Loss of tear production is a standard component of aging, significantly beyond 50. When the lower eyelid droops or sags, it can lead to dry eye syndrome. A doctor can help restore average tear production by tightening the eyelid in this case.
Reduced Visibility
Your eyesight might be impaired if the skin around your upper eyelid is loose or drooping. Driving and other everyday tasks can become difficult or even risky without good peripheral vision. If your eyelids droop, you may be able to see better after having surgery to tighten them.
An Itchy, Red Skin
In rare cases, irritation or infection may develop in the skin folds. Pain, redness, and a rash-like look may result from this. If you suffer from irritated or infected eyelids, blepharoplasty can help by removing some of the extra skin folds.
A Permanent Solution for Watery Eyes
Chronic Watery Eyes is a condition that can develop when the skin around the eyes droops. When the eyelid hangs down, it presses on the eye, which triggers the tear ducts to release tears as a defense mechanism continually. This leads to the problem of excessive tear production. If a plastic surgeon tightens the upper eyelid, the drooping will stop, and the tear ducts will relax and stop releasing tears.
Blepharospasm Prevention and Treatment
When the muscles of the eyelids and their surrounding regions spontaneously twitch or spasm, the condition is called blepharospasm. The severity of this illness might vary considerably.
Additionally, it may begin as a little nuisance. On the other hand, it could develop into a more debilitating condition that makes it hard to go about one’s regular life. If the involuntary blepharospasm continues to worsen, a surgeon may be able to change the muscles involved in the condition through Eyelid Correction.
