TARSORRHAPHY

Tarsorrhaphy is a surgical procedure that involves stitching or suturing the eyelids together, either partially or completely, to protect the eye and promote healing. This procedure can be temporary or permanent and is often used to address conditions such as:

  1. Exposure keratopathy (dryness or damage to the cornea due to incomplete eyelid closure)
  2. Neuroparalytic keratitis (inflammation of the cornea due to nerve damage)
  3. Facial paralysis or weakness

By limiting eyelid movement, tarsorrhaphy helps shield the eye from external factors, reduces discomfort, and supports the healing process.

FRONTALIS SLING

A frontalis sling is a surgical procedure used to:

  1. Treat ptosis: Correct droopy eyelids by suspending the eyelid from the frontalis muscle.
  2. Improve eyelid elevation: Enhance eyelid movement and symmetry.

The procedure involves:

  1. Sling material: Using a material (e.g., silicone, fascia lata) to connect the eyelid to the frontalis muscle.
  2. Customized approach: Tailored to individual needs and anatomy.

Frontalis sling surgery can significantly improve eyelid function and appearance.

MULLERECTOMY

Mullerectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal or resection of a portion of the Müller’s muscle in the eyelid. It’s often performed to:

  1. Treat ptosis: Correct droopy eyelids by strengthening the eyelid’s lifting mechanism.
  2. Improve eyelid function: Enhance eyelid elevation and symmetry.

The procedure is typically done by an oculoplastic surgeon and can be tailored to individual needs.

TEAR DUCT SURGERY

Tear duct surgery, also known as dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), is a procedure to:

  1. Restore tear drainage: Creating a new pathway for tears to flow from the eye into the nasal cavity.
  2. Relieve blockages: Clearing blockages in the tear ducts.

The surgery can be performed:

  1. Externally: Through a small incision on the side of the nose.
  2. Endoscopically: Through the nose using a small camera and instruments.

Tear duct surgery can help alleviate symptoms such as:

  1. Excessive tearing
  2. Eye irritation
  3. Recurrent infections

If you’re experiencing tear duct issues, consult with an optometrist or oculoplastic surgeon to determine the best course of treatment.

EYE LID RECONSTRUCTION

Eyelid reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or rebuild the eyelid, often due to:

  1. Trauma or injury
  2. Tumor removal
  3. Congenital defects
  4. Eyelid malposition

The goal is to restore:

  1. Function: Protecting the eye and maintaining vision
  2. Appearance: Improving the look of the eyelid

Techniques vary depending on the complexity and extent of the reconstruction, and may involve:

  1. Skin grafts
  2. Flap reconstruction
  3. Tarsorrhaphy (temporary or permanent closure)

A skilled oculoplastic surgeon can help determine the best approach for individual needs.

BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids, addressing concerns such as:

  1. Excess skin: Removing sagging skin around the eyes.
  2. Fat deposits: Reducing puffiness or bags under the eyes.
  3. Muscle relaxation: Tightening muscles for a more youthful look.

The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and can be tailored to individual needs.

Benefits include:

  1. Improved appearance: Reduced signs of aging.
  2. Enhanced vision: Removing excess skin that obstructs vision.
  3. Boosted confidence: Feeling more refreshed and youthful.

If you’re considering blepharoplasty, consult with an experienced surgeon to discuss your options and determine the best approach for your individual needs.

PTOSIS REPAIR SURGERY

Ptosis repair is a surgical procedure to correct droopy eyelids (ptosis), which can affect one or both eyes. The goal is to:

  1. Improve eyelid position: Lift the eyelid to a more normal position.
  2. Enhance vision: Reduce obstruction of the visual field.
  3. Improve appearance: Restore a more youthful and alert appearance.

The procedure can be performed on children or adults, depending on the cause and severity of the ptosis.

Some common techniques include:

  1. Levator resection: Tightening the levator muscle.
  2. Müllerectomy: Removing a portion of the Müller muscle.
  3. Frontalis sling: Using a sling to suspend the eyelid.

If you’re considering ptosis repair, consult with an oculoplastic surgeon or ophthalmologist to determine the best approach for your specific case.
