How many years can blepharoptosis surgery last?
The blepharoptosis operation itself can remain permanent, because the levator palpebrae superioris muscle corrected by shortening the operation will not return to its original appearance. However, because the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis becomes thinner with age and breaks with levator palpebrae superioris muscle, ptosis will be caused again. In addition, people's skin around the eyes will age and relax with the passage of time and the growth of age, and the eyelids will become a little droopy. Therefore, when we get older, the effect of ptosis correction surgery will not be so good, and the effect will not be maintained forever.
Sequela of levator palpebrae superioris shortening
1, the sequela of levator palpebrae superioris shortening operation is not corrected properly.
Reason: levator palpebrae superioris muscle strength is poor, so levator palpebrae superioris surgery is chosen.
How to deal with it: the obvious correction deficiency can be repaired 1-2 weeks after operation, but attention should be paid to the shock of levator palpebrae superioris muscle in the early stage after operation. It is characterized by decreased muscle strength. It is suggested that the late repair period should be considered after 3-6 months of tissue scar softening after approval. If the levator palpebrae superioris muscle strength is insufficient, the operation method needs to be re-selected.
2. Excessive correction of levator palpebrae superioris shortening sequelae.
Causes: levator palpebrae superioris muscle was shortened by more than two degrees during operation, or the position of frontal muscle flap was too high.
How to deal with it: In order to prevent corneal injury, severe overcorrection should be operated as soon as possible. If the correction is not serious, it can be closely observed and treated according to the position of the upper eyelid after half a year.
3. Incomplete closure of palpebral fissure caused by shortening levator palpebrae superioris muscle.
Cause: Frontal muscle flap is suspended and levator palpebrae superioris muscle is shortened.
How to deal with it: if there is corneal exposure during surgery, the risk can be repaired early after surgery. Apply ointment to protect the cornea before going to bed until the eyelids are closed and the cornea is not exposed. If the cornea is exposed, perform surgical correction.
4. The levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortens postoperative exposure keratitis.
Causes: After operation, the eyelid fissure was closed, the tear secretion decreased and trichiasis occurred.
Coping methods: lower eyelid adventure, applying antibiotic eye ointment and wearing bandage mirror. If corneal ulcer has occurred, it is necessary to re-operate, reset the upper eyelid to a suitable height, and add attribute eyelid margin suture if necessary.
Sequelae of levator palpebrae superioris shortening eyelid entropion.
Cause: Overeating is due to the lower suture position between levator palpebrae superioris or frontalis muscle and meibomian, which leads to entropion of eyelid. Or there is too much skin on the lower lip of the double eyelids, and eating the lower lip pushes the eyelashes to form trichiasis.
How to deal with:
0 1. It needs to be re-cut, and the suture and fixation position between the upper eyelid muscle or frontalis muscle and the tarsal plate should be adjusted. When suturing the skin incision, the suture passes through the deep layer of levator palpebrae superioris muscle or frontalis muscle to increase the eversion strength of double eyelid and lower lip.
02. Or cut off part of the skin of the lower lip of the double eyelid to reduce the width of the lower lip of the double eyelid and reduce the accumulation of skin.
6. Conjunctival prolapse after levator palpebrae superioris shortening.
Cause: The levator palpebrae superioris is highly separated or conjunctival edema after operation.
How to deal with it: If conjunctival prolapse is found during the operation, 2-3 pairs of mattress suture can be made at the conjunctival vault with 5-0 silk thread, and the skin incision can be ligated. Early postoperative finding can be pressure dressing or 2-3 pairs of mattress suture at the same time, and ligation at the skin incision. If the surgical prolapse lasts for a long time, part of the prolapsed conjunctiva tissue can be removed, but care should be taken to avoid damaging the lacrimal passage above the temporal lobe.
7, levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortens sequela upper eyelid retardation.
Reason: Either frontalis muscle operation or levator palpebrae superioris muscle operation will lead to light or heavy upper eyelid retardation.
How to deal with it: With the passage of operation time, this common phenomenon will be alleviated, but it will not disappear. This phenomenon can be concealed by beauty seekers avoiding looking down.
8. Eyelid ectropion after levator palpebrae superioris shortening.
Cause: The horizontal tension with eyelid is too low, such as the detachment of lateral canthus ligament after various lateral canthoplasty. Others can be seen in fornix conjunctival edema and high suture of deep tissue during suture.
How to deal with it: mild eversion can be observed and the recovery situation can be observed. If it is serious, it needs to be re-cut and adjusted.
9. Asymmetry of binocular morphology in levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortening sequela.
Causes: Preoperative design, intraoperative operation and postoperative recovery can be caused by many factors.
Treatment: Repair according to the cause.
10. After shortening levator palpebrae superioris muscle, the eyelid margin is not smooth.
Causes: Improper preoperative design and intraoperative operation lead to uneven curvature or angular deformity of eyelid margin.
How to deal with it: If it is mild, you can observe it. If it is very obvious, it needs a second surgical adjustment.
How to maintain the effect of blepharoptosis surgery
Before doing blepharoptosis surgery in a qualified regular word-of-mouth hospital, it is best to choose a qualified regular word-of-mouth hospital for blepharoptosis surgery. Because blepharoptosis surgery is a delicate operation, it is necessary to carry out targeted and comprehensive design before operation. Only when it is well designed can the effect be maintained all the year round. In addition, blepharoptosis surgery requires a high operating environment, and a sterile operating room is needed before operation, otherwise it will cause infection sequelae. Before the operation, the first thing you need to examine is the qualification of the hospital.
Note: Plastic surgery hospitals must have the Practice License of Medical Institutions, and the exhibition items shown in the certificate should include medical beauty subjects such as "medical beauty department" and "cosmetic surgery".
Choosing a responsible and experienced doctor for surgery In order to maintain the effect of surgery for many years, a girl who loves beauty must choose a responsible and experienced doctor for surgery. This is because experienced and qualified doctors can really solve the morphological problems of eyes, and the experience advantage can make them calmly deal with common surgical problems. Therefore, choosing a professional, reliable, responsible and experienced doctor to perform levator palpebrae superioris surgery and strengthening communication and understanding with doctors before operation are the basic conditions to ensure the effect of blepharoptosis surgery.
It is very important to do a good job of postoperative care, so that blepharoptosis surgery can be used for many years to correct blepharoptosis, which can help us to achieve long-term surgical results. The basic nursing principles are as follows:
1, after ptosis correction, ensure the surgical site is clean;
2, avoid eating irritating foods such as peppers, which will affect the effect of ptosis correction;
3, strictly abide by the doctor's advice and follow-up, which is also very important for the correction of ptosis.
What should I pay attention to to to improve ptosis?
1. Attention should be paid to protecting eyes during work and production, and safety protection measures should be taken to avoid eye trauma.
2. Attention should be paid to protecting the incision of adjacent normal tissues during eye surgery.
Don't wear contact lenses for a long time, because wearing contact lenses for a long time is likely to stimulate the cornea. Even cause corneal inflammation.
4. Once you find local eye abnormalities, you should go to the hospital in time for early detection and early treatment.
