Eyelid Malpositions Treatment in Malleshwaram

Effective Surgical Solutions for Entropion & Ectropion

Do your eyelids turn inward or outward abnormally?
 Are your eyelashes rubbing against your eye, causing irritation, redness, or tearing?
 Do you often experience dryness, discomfort, or blurred vision due to eyelid changes?

If you’re facing any of these symptoms, you may be experiencing an eyelid malposition such as entropion or ectropion-conditions that require specialized attention to protect your vision and improve comfort.

At Sapiens Clinic, Malleshwaram, our experienced oculoplastic surgeon offers personalized surgical correction for these conditions using advanced and minimally invasive techniques.

Understanding Eyelid Malpositions

Entropion is when the eyelid (typically lower) turns inward, causing your lashes and skin to rub against the eye’s surface. This friction leads to constant irritation, redness, tearing and risk of corneal injury.

Ectropion is the outward turning of the eyelid, leaving the inner eye exposed and vulnerable to dryness, wind and infection. It can also interfere with natural tear drainage, leading to watery eyes and chronic inflammation.

Both conditions are commonly caused by age-related tissue weakening, facial nerve palsy, past surgeries, trauma or congenital defects.

When is Surgery Recommended?

While mild symptoms may be temporarily managed with lubricants, eye shields, or taping, surgery remains the most effective and lasting solution. The goal of surgery is to restore the natural alignment of the eyelid, protect the eye and relieve symptoms.

How Ectropion Surgery is Performed

For most age-related ectropion cases, we perform a lateral tarsal strip procedure. This involves :

• Administering local anesthesia with or without mild sedation.
• Making a small incision at the outer corner of the eyelid.
• Tightening and repositioning the loose eyelid by shortening the tendons.
• Suturing the eyelid into its proper position.

This outpatient procedure is safe, effective, and takes under an hour.

What to Expect During Recovery

• Mild swelling and bruising are common and typically subside within a few days.
• An eye patch is worn for the first 24 hours.
• Antibiotic ointments and cold compresses are prescribed to support healing.
• Stitches are usually removed after 5–7 days.
• Most patients resume normal routines in 10–14 days with full recovery in about 2 weeks.

Cost of Eyelid Malposition Surgery in Malleshwaram

The cost of correcting eyelid malpositions depends on the severity of the condition, the complexity of the surgical repair, and the materials used (such as grafts, if needed). At Sapiens Clinic, we focus on clinical quality and patient outcomes—our pricing reflects the level of care and personalized attention you’ll receive.

While cosmetic in appearance, entropion and ectropion surgeries are often considered medically necessary, and we can guide you on insurance documentation if applicable.
