How Eyelid Repair Works
Ectropion and entropion repair involves tightening or repositioning eyelid structures to restore natural alignment. These outpatient procedures are performed under local anesthesia and are designed to protect the eye surface, reduce irritation, and improve long‑term comfort. Our surgical approach prioritizes precision and natural results.
Recovery & Healing
Most patients resume normal activities within several days. An antibiotic ointment will be used during healing, while temporary swelling or bruising typically resolves within 1–2 weeks. Detailed post‑operative instructions ensure a smooth recovery and long‑lasting results.
