What should the elderly do if the upper eyelid skin is slack?
When the elderly reach a certain age, it is normal for the upper eyelid skin to relax. However, this phenomenon will affect the physical strength of the elderly. How to do this kind of upper eyelid skin relaxation? How to solve the problem of old people's eyes? What should I do if the upper eyelid skin is slack? In fact, there are many ways to solve this problem, but for the elderly, it is best to use eye plastic surgery to improve this phenomenon safely and effectively. The repair of eyelid skin relaxation in the elderly can not simply follow the method of double eyelid plasty, but should restore physiological function and beautify the face according to its anatomical and physiological characteristics. During the operation, it is necessary not only to remove redundant skin, but also to shorten the aponeurosis of levator palpebrae superioris to prevent senile ptosis caused by levator palpebrae superioris muscle degeneration, and to fix the drooping lacrimal gland at the same time. In the operation, it is especially necessary to distinguish the hypertrophic and drooping lacrimal gland from the prolapsed fat, otherwise if the lacrimal gland tissue is removed as fat tissue, it may lead to postoperative blindness. There have been painful lessons in the past. Therefore, plastic surgeons must be familiar with the anatomical characteristics of the elderly eyelids in order to carry out plastic surgery on the elderly eyelids. In addition, young doctors should be reminded to be conservative when removing excess skin, because the eyelid skin elasticity of the elderly is poor. If more eyelid skin is removed, it is not easy to recover after eyelid ectropion. ? The method introduced to you above is a good solution to the local problem. Generally, the stitches can be removed in five days after operation. There is no need to remind everyone that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should be cautious, operate during the stable period of the disease, and do ECG monitoring during the operation. Also remind patients that it is best to go to a regular professional plastic surgery hospital for surgery.
