How Full-Thickness Wedge Resection and Reconstruction of Lower Eyelid is performed
This procedure is suitable for focal laxity or eyelid margin abnormalities. A common approach is to excise a small full-thickness section of the lower eyelid under local anesthesia to achieve shortening and reshaping, then precisely align the eyelid margin and supporting structures, with lateral canthal reinforcement if necessary. Postoperatively, attention is paid to incision alignment, eyelid margin apposition, and corneal protection, with pressure dressing as needed and follow-up examinations scheduled. The goal is to improve ectropion and tearing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
