Several Techniques for Ectropion Surgery
The specific approach depends on the severity of the ectropion and the underlying cause. Common surgical techniques include:
This process involves tightening the lower eyelid horizontally to bring it closer to the eye. It may involve removing a small amount of tissue from the eyelid to achieve the desired tightness.
Canthoplasty is a procedure that involves strengthening the lateral canthal tendon, which helps support the outer corner of the eyelid. This can help to improve the position of the eyelid and prevent it from turning outward.
In cases where there is significant tissue loss or scarring, a skin graft or flap may be used to repair the eyelid and restore its normal position.
This technique involves removing a portion of the lower eyelid muscle (Muller's muscle) to tighten the eyelid and improve its position.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ectropion?
Ectropion is a condition where the eyelid turns outward. This can cause dryness, irritation, and even vision problems.
What are the benefits of ectropion surgery?
Surgery can help correct the outward turning of the eyelid, relieving symptoms like dryness, irritation, and infection. It can also improve vision and overall eye comfort.
Is ectropion surgery right for me?
If you have ectropion and it’s causing you problems, your surgeon Mr Jeeva can discuss if surgery is the best option for you.
What are the different types of ectropion surgery?
The most common type is a lateral tarsal strip procedure, but others include medial canthal tightening, skin grafts, and flap procedures. The type chosen depends on the severity and cause of ectropion.
What happens during surgery?
Ectropion surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation. Depending on the type of surgery, a small piece of tissue might be removed, tissues might be tightened, or a skin graft or flap might be used to rebuild the eyelid.
How long does surgery take?
Ectropion surgery typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.
What can I expect after surgery?
You might experience some bruising, swelling, and discomfort around the eye. Your surgeon Mr Jeeva will provide specific instructions on how to care for your eye during recovery.
How long does it take to recover from ectropion surgery?
Most people can go home the same day as surgery. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most symptoms subsiding gradually.
What are the risks of ectropion surgery?
As with any surgery, there are some risks, such as infection, bleeding, and asymmetry (uneven appearance of the eyelids). Discuss these potential risks with your surgeon Mr Jeeva.
Can ectropion come back after surgery?
While ectropion surgery is usually effective, there’s a chance it could recur, especially with age-related ectropion.
Will I need to take any medications after surgery?
Your surgeon Mr Jeeva may prescribe antibiotics or eye drops to help prevent infection and promote healing.
When can I resume normal activities?
You’ll likely need to avoid strenuous activity for a while after surgery. Your surgeon Mr Jeeva will advise you on specific restrictions.
