Abstract

|
|
Purpose: Cosmetic procedures for lower eyelids are popular in the field of plastic surgery for patients who want to make their eyes look bigger in Korea. We have experienced patients who developed entropion after the lower eyelid cosmetic procedure and treated it surgically, and therefore we would like to report on these cases.
Methods: From 2015 to 2021, among all patients diagnosed as having entropion at Woori Yonsei eye clinic, 34 patients with a history of lower eyelid plastic procedure were included in this study.
Results: All patients were female and their mean age was 30.6 years. We classified subjects from grade I to grade IV according to the degree of resistance to the lower eyelid retraction and lower eyelid upward movement restriction. The Hotz operation was performed in all patients. Filler removal, lower eyelid retraction recession, or palate mucosal transplantation were additionally performed depending on the severity of entropion.
Conclusions: After the cosmetic procedure of lower eyelid, some patients had entropion as a complication and required surgery. To prevent these complications, sufficient pre-examination of eye conditions such as the degree of relaxation of the lower eyelid, size of eyelid fissure, morphological problems, and reevaluation of surgical technique are required before the procedure starts. In addition, it seems the patients need to provide with sufficient explanation about the necessity of the procedure and its side effects.
