Treatment of Eyelash Irritation Caused by Entropion (Inward Rolling of the Eyelid), Part 2! (Feat. Brow Lift)

Last time, I showed a case treated for unilateral entropion (Part 1).

Today, I’d like to introduce a case of discomfort caused by entropion (inward rolling of the eyelid) in both eyes.

Because of entropion, the eyelashes on the inner side of the center of the eyes were rubbing against the eyes.

The areas being rubbed and the direction of lash growth are marked with purple fluorescent arrows.

Even a speck of dust in one eye is annoying, so feeling a foreign-body sensation in both eyes must have been quite uncomfortable for this patient.

Here are the preoperative 45-degree and 90-degree photos.

It can be seen that the eyelashes are growing upward (toward the eyeball).

I compared the 45-degree photos before and after surgery.

To make the change in lash direction easier to see, purple fluorescent arrows were used before surgery,

and sky-blue arrows were used after surgery.

You can see that the direction of the eyelashes that had been pointing inward toward the eye due to entropion

has changed to the outside.

Here are the 90-degree photos.

It has been 3 months since the entropion surgery. The scar on the lower eyelid has improved to the point that it is barely noticeable.^-^

This was a case in which brow lift and brow reduction were also performed together, so I will cover that separately.

They say it is very comfortable just not having the eyelashes poke the eye.

Even though most people whose eyelashes do not poke their eyes take that for granted...
