Ectropion Surgery
Ectropion is a condition in which the lower eyelid turns outward, causing the eye to dry out,
along with redness, tearing, and various other forms of discomfort.
This is not merely a cosmetic concern — correction is necessary for ocular health and vision protection.
Surgery details may vary by individual,
and side effects such as swelling, bruising, and redness may occur — please exercise caution.

Approx. 40 min–1 hour
Suture Removal
5–7 days post-op

About Ectropion
Ectropion primarily develops as the eyelid skin and muscle become lax due to aging.
When the eyelid turns outward, tears cannot drain normally and overflow,
which can lead to chronic conjunctivitis, corneal damage, and chronic redness — making correction essential.
As the eyelid turns outward, tears may pool or overflow, potentially leading to chronic irritation, a foreign-body sensation, and even corneal damage.
It most commonly develops after age 50 as skin and muscle weaken, but can also arise from trauma or congenital factors.
Ectropion Correction surgery protects ocular health while improving tearing and redness symptoms, reducing everyday discomfort.
Target
If any of the following apply to you, consider Ectropion Correction.
Your lower eyelid turns outward and tears flow continuously
You experience chronic eye redness, stinging, or a foreign-body sensation
You have recurrent periorbital dermatitis or eczema
Ectropion has caused corneal damage or visual discomfort
Aging has caused periorbital skin laxity and loss of elasticity
The eyelid has been deformed due to congenital or traumatic factors
Process
If left untreated, ectropion can progress beyond mere discomfort
to corneal ulceration and vision loss — early treatment is recommended.
The specific cause of ectropion is accurately identified, and the condition of the skin, muscle, and ligaments is meticulously assessed.
An inconspicuous incision is made below the lash line, then lax tissue is corrected or reinforced.
Muscle suspension is used to secure lower eyelid structural stability, preserving the pretarsal fullness for a natural appearance.
Excess skin is trimmed and the wound is closed carefully so no scar remains.

We provide simultaneous improvement of functional treatment and aesthetic outcomes, along with customized correction methods.
