Droopy Eyelids And Ectropion

The drooping of the eyelids due to aging.

Here we unveil for you information about solutions by Dr. Villamarin for Droopy Eyelids And Ectropion in Madrid and Valencia

The slow and progressive drooping of the upper eyelids (blepharoptosis) is common, and sometimes the drooping and turning down of the lower eyelid (ectropion of age), due to distension of the eyelid structures over the years, giving a feeling of exhaustion and senility. Dr. Villamarín, an expert in eyelid surgery in Madrid and Valencia and in medical and surgical rejuvenation of the face and eyes, seeks a comprehensive solution that solves the senile malposition of the eyelids and harmonizes our entire face through advanced and combined techniques in innovative programs created by himself.

Usually, senile blepharoptosis or drooping of the upper eyelids over the years is combined with other problems, such as drooping eyebrows and excess skin on the upper eyelid, although it may be an isolated problem. Also the drooping of the lower eyelid due to age or senile ectropion can be isolated or combined with other tissue retraction problems. Our Dr. Villamarín Madrid and Valencia Blepharoplasty programs allow the treatment of any of these aging problems. Recover your image of youth with us!

Am I a good candidate for surgery for eyelid ptosis due to age and senile ectropion Madrid and Valencia?

Candidates for these procedures with surgery should be in good general health, have mild to advanced changes in the eyelids and periocular region, and have realistic expectations. They should not suffer from skin, infectious, immune, advanced thyroid diseases, severe dry eyes, or uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes. It is strongly recommended not to smoke from 1 month before surgery to 1 month after surgery. The patient must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Dr. Villamarín will meet with each patient individually to determine if they may benefit from a surgical eyelid lift and repositioning.

During this consultation, a thorough examination of the eyebrows, eyelids, vision, the eyes themselves (ophthalmological examination with fundus), tear production and the face will be carried out. The objective is to determine how many problems overlap and exist in the patient, to detect if there are causes not related to aging, such as neurological or others, and thus avoid confusion. The objectives, benefits, results and alternatives will be discussed with Dr. Villamarín and then he will design a detailed and adapted or tailor-made treatment plan for each patient. In the case of surgery, a preoperative procedure will be ordered and postoperative recommendations will be provided in accordance with the protocol for the procedure.

What kind of anesthesia do we use?

Local anesthesia, with or without sedation, which may include anesthetic creams and anesthetic eye drops for the insertion of protective shields for eye and vision safety, considered by Dr. Villamarín (also an ophthalmic or eye surgeon) to be essential for patient safety (Safe Surgery & Procedures protocol) and applied to all procedures that are close to the eye.

The surgical procedure for eyelid ptosis due to age and senile ectropion Madrid and Valencia

Following the safety protocol specifically designed by Dr. Villamarín, whenever possible we use cannulas for the injection of any substance, be it anesthetic or a filler, instead of needles, to minimize the possibility of serious complications. Sometimes we use procedures without stitches or without scars on the skin, whenever possible. Surgical assistance with laser or radiofrequency is routine, unless contraindicated. The use of peels or lasers and cosmeceutical treatment may be recommended.

For blepharoptosis or drooping of the eyelid due to age, Dr. Villamarín uses an approach usually without scars or stitches for the authentic eyelid lift by fixing the aged tissues in the depth of the eyelid. This can be combined with an upper blepharoplasty or a brow lift, if the case requires it.

For ectropion or malposition of the lower eyelid due to age, Dr. Villamarín usually uses a minimally invasive technique that includes lateral canthoplasty. This can be combined with a lower blepharoplasty or a midface lift, if the case requires it.

Upper Eyelid Lift and Ectropion Post-Procedure Care

After the procedure, we will begin medication and post-operative recommendations and you will return to the comfort of your home or hotel room. Medications, physical measures, and cold packs will be used to reduce swelling for the first two days after the procedure. The lubricating drops should be used during the day and the ointment will be important at night to help keep the eyes moist and protected from dryness. Hilotherapy is an innovative thermal treatment that favors healing in the postoperative period and that Dr. Villamarín optionally recommends after some of his procedures. There will be follow-up as per protocol to monitor healing and make sure all your questions are answered.

Recovery

Recovery is mainly related to swelling and in rare cases with bruising. Recovery typically takes 7-14 days, depending on the procedures performed, and we recommend planning two weeks off work or social engagements to allow plenty of time to recover.

Minor swelling continues to improve steadily for up to several weeks after the procedure. Exercise can be resumed 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure, depending on the nature of the activity and the degree of inflammation involved.

What to expect from surgery for age-related ptosis and senile ectropion Madrid and Valencia?

In both cases it gives excellent results and will eliminate mild to severe cases. In short, it returns an open and youthful look.

How long will the result last?

It depends on the case. In general, the first effects are usually seen in 2 weeks and the result usually lasts 6-8 years. Maintenance is required.

The age-related ptosis of the eyelids.

Dr. Villamarín will study each case and look for the least invasive surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia, to achieve excellent results. Depending on the situation and importance of the case, the specific techniques to solve drooping eyelids due to age could be framed in one of the treatment levels for Madrid and Valencia blepharoplasty designed by Dr. Villamarín.

If several problems occur at the same time, it is sometimes recommended to combine upper blepharoplasty or even a brow lift with ptosis or upper eyelid drooping surgery. In the same way, lower blepharoplasty and even cheek lift are sometimes combined with lower eyelid ectropion surgery. In addition, all this can be integrated with the rest of the face in specialized procedures designed by Dr. Villamarín such as NEW AGE LIDS ®, FRESHLOOK TOUCH ® and FRESHLOOK RESCUE ®, LIFTING MAKEOVER ® and PREVENT & ACT SKINCARE ®

I met Dr. Villamarín through a friend of mine who went to him and was very satisfied. It was not the first time that I went to aesthetic treatments. I was surprised by his dedication and effort to understand my problems and solve them safely with the procedures that I really needed. I am very satisfied with the results and I continue to go to his consultation for maintenance. Without a doubt, for me it is the best and I always recommend it. Thank you.

Hello. I am 56 years old and for a few years, I had some bags on my eyelids and also dark circles. Since I work with the public, and since I felt uncomfortable with my situation, I went to Dr. Villamarín. It was not my first consultation with other general plastic surgeons. However, I decided to go to him because he is a true specialist in plastic and eyelid aesthetic surgery. The surgery was without stitches and without scars, not only on the lower eyelids but also on the upper ones, which no one had offered me. Now I feel great, a few months have passed and my image is excellent and rejuvenated, not a trace of bags or dark circles. And no scars. I am very grateful to Dr. Villamarín. Thank you. (Translation from a testimony of a Spanish patient)

My case was not easy. I had eyelid surgery at another center with a general plastic surgeon, but I was not satisfied. After that, my lower eyelids were tight and drooping, and my eyes were very sunken. After more than a year, I felt sad and vulnerable, and when I looked in the mirror I didn't recognize myself. A friend who had undergone treatments with Dr. Villamarín recommended him directly to me. Her treatment is exceptional, her complete dedication, she gave me all the time in the world and she supported me psychologically by understanding my situation. She offered me solutions and I had surgery with him. Now I do recognize myself and I don't have sunken eyes like before, and my eyelids are in the right place. My image is excellent and I have recovered from that nightmare. My life now has colour and optimism. I do not have enough words to thank Dr. Villamarín and his team for his dedication, extraordinary treatment, innovation and surgical skill. Thank you very much.
