What to Expect with Mr Jeeva
Entropion surgery is one of our premier and highly effective treatments to restore both comfort and functionality.
Here is a detailed guide to help you understand the entire process from enquiry to procedure with Mr Jeeva.
Initial Consultation
Booking a Consultation: The first step is to schedule a consultation with Mr Jeeva, one of our experienced Consultant Plastic Surgeons.
Scheduling Surgery: Given the lead time for surgery, many patients book their surgery slots at the same time as their consultation.
Consultation Details
Assessment: During your consultation, Mr Jeeva will thoroughly assess your eyelid’s condition and discuss the results you hope to achieve.
Suitability: Not everyone is suitable for the procedure. Mr Jeeva will provide an honest assessment.
Eligibility Rate: On average, 73% of our patients are suitable for the procedure. The remaining 27% are not, and we will not proceed if we believe the results won't meet your expectations.
The Procedure
Preparation: Before the surgery, the patient is given local anaesthesia to numb the area around the eye to ensure comfort. In some cases, general anaesthesia may be preferred.
Incision: A small incision is made at the outer corner of the lower eyelid. This allows access to the tissues that need to be adjusted.
Positioning the Eyelid: The eyelid is then brought back to normal position either by removing some tissue or using a skin graft.
Bandaging: The eye may be covered with a bandage to protect it during the initial healing period.
The Techniques
Horizontal Tightening: This technique involves creating and stitching a strip from the eyelid to surrounding eye socket tissue.
Everting/Rotational Sutures: It's a quick office procedure that involves the use of stitches to tighten the loose eyelid.
Retractor Reinsertion: During this procedure, eyelid muscles are tightened to correct the inward folding.
Post-Procedure Care
Same-Day Discharge: Patients can go home on the same day as the surgery.
After surgery you can expect mild:
--Swelling
-- Bruising
-- Tightness around the eyelid
All of these usually subside within a week or two after surgery.
Take care by:
-- Wearing an eye patch for 24 hours post surgery
-- Applying prescribed ointments
-- Icing the area
-- Following the aftercare tips by Mr Jeeva.
Risks and Complications
All surgeries carry risks, including cosmetic procedures. There is a very small risk of complications, such as infection, scarring, and blurry/double vision in rare cases.
These risks, along with all aspects of the surgery and its costs, will be discussed during your consultation.
Post-Surgery Follow-Up
After your surgery, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions and will have a follow-up appointment about 7 days later to assess healing and remove sutures.
