What is Golden Eyelid Weight Surgery?
In some patients with facial paralysis, inequalities in the eyelid may occur. At this point, the person may experience both psychological and physiological problems. At this point, the Golden Eyelid Weight procedure can offer perfect results. If we need to closely examine this procedure that offers quite perfect results, we can say that it is a surgical method applied especially for patients with facial paralysis (facial paralysis). This procedure is applied to regulate the problems in the eyelid, which occur when the functions of the facial muscles are completely lost. Thus, by ensuring the closure of the eyelid, the eye surface is protected and kept moist. In addition, the uneven appearance of the eyelid is eliminated.
In what cases is Golden Eyelid Procedure Applied?
One of the most curious things about the gold weight eyelid procedure is in which cases it is applied. In this case, the golden eyelid procedure is applied in cases where the eyelid does not close due to facial paralysis. The main reason for this is that facial paralysis damages the facial nerves, causing damage to the eyelid. As a result, since the muscles in the eyelid do not work properly, the eyelid cannot close completely and the eye surface remains constantly open. Thus, the eye becomes more vulnerable to external factors and diseases. Gold weight eyelid surgery is performed to prevent these possible situations. This procedure mimics the natural closing reflex and helps to restore eye health.
How is Facial Gold Weight Eyelid Procedure Done?
In the eyelid gold weight placement procedure, a small minimal incision is first made in the patient's upper eyelid. This incision helps the plate to fit the eye more comfortably and well. Thus, the eyelid begins to close naturally with this gold plate.
The reason for using a gold plate during the procedure is that gold is a biocompatible and high weight material. This material mimics the natural movements of the eyelid and helps the eye to close, thus preventing complications such as dry eye and corneal damage. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and the gold weight is placed imperceptibly from the outside.
Benefits of Gold Weight Eyelid Surgery
There are many advantages of the eyelid gold weight placement procedure, which provides convenience to individuals who have eyelid problems due to facial paralysis traumas. One of these advantages is the increase in self-confidence and positive situations in social life. To examine these advantages in detail;
- Eye Protection: Incomplete eyelid closure can lead to dry cornea and serious damage to the surface of the eye. For this reason, Golden weight eyelid surgery prevents such complications by allowing the eyelid to close naturally.
- Reducing Dry Eye: Dryness in the eye caused by the eyelid not closing can lead to visual disturbances and discomfort. This procedure helps to protect the tear film layer and reduce dry eye by closing the eyelid.
- Aesthetic and Functional Recovery: Golden weight eyelid surgery offers both an aesthetic and functional solution. Therefore, this procedure, which mimics the natural movements of the eyelid, provides an aesthetically natural appearance and protects the visual function by allowing the eye to close.
- Fast Recovery Process: Since the surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, the recovery process after the procedure is relatively fast. Therefore, patients can return to their daily lives in a short time.
- Minimally Invasive: The surgery is a minimally invasive procedure and is usually performed through a small incision. This reduces the risk of complications and allows the patient to have a comfortable recovery.
Gold Weight Eyelid Surgery Recovery Time
As with every operation, the gold weight eyelid procedure has its own special healing process. To examine this gold weight eyelid surgery recovery process closely;
First Week
- Symptoms such as eyelid swelling, bruising and mild pain may occur in the first few days after surgery. These symptoms usually peak within 3-5 days and then begin to subside.
- In the first weeks during the recovery process of heavy eyelid surgery, dryness or burning sensation in the eye may be experienced, in this case, eye drops and ointments recommended by the surgeon are used.
- In the first week after surgery, it is important to avoid heavy physical activity and stay away from situations that can damage the eye area.
2-4 Weeks
- Swelling and bruising are usually greatly reduced during this period. The eyelid and surrounding skin gradually begins to regain its normal color and appearance.
- Stitches in the eyelid are usually removed at this time (unless dissolvable stitches were used).
- During this period, normal daily activities can be gradually resumed. However, heavy exercise and situations that put pressure on the eye area should still be avoided.
1-3 Months
- During the first few months of the weight eyelid surgery recovery process, the eyelid heals completely. The skin tissue largely overcomes the effects of the surgery and the golden weight on the eyelid reaches its full function.
- During this process, the movements of the eyelid become more natural and a marked improvement in eye closure is observed.
- During this period, the surgeon follows the healing process with regular follow-up appointments and may recommend additional treatments if necessary.
3 Months and Beyond
- The full effects of the surgery usually become more noticeable at 3 months and beyond. The golden weight on the eyelid significantly improves the eye's ability to close, which reduces the risk of dry eye, infection and other complications.
- Postoperative scars usually become less noticeable over time.
Things to Consider Before and After Golden Eyelid Weight
It is useful to pay attention to certain points before and after gold weight eyelid surgery. These points allow the surgery process to be easier and more comfortable. It also offers a fast recovery process after surgery. For this reason, take into account the recommendations and warnings given by the doctor after the procedure.
Things to Consider Before Gold Weight Eyelid Surgery
Before the eyelid gold weight placement procedure is performed, you need to pay attention to a few points. This way you will be fully prepared for the current treatment. We therefore recommend that you take the following warnings into consideration.
- Eye Examination: The condition of the eye and eyelid should be evaluated in detail before the eyelid gold weight placement operation is performed. This includes examining the mobility of the eyelid, the health of the eye surface and tear production. If there is dry eye or other eye problems, these conditions should be treated.
- Medication Use: Before Golden Eyelid Weight Surgery, it is especially important for patients who are taking blood thinners to discuss this with their surgeon. The surgeon may recommend temporarily stopping the use of such medications before surgery. In addition, the doctor's recommendations regarding the medications to be taken before and after surgery should be followed.
- Smoking and Alcohol Use: Smoking and alcohol use may adversely affect the postoperative healing process. It is recommended to stop smoking and drinking alcohol before surgery, especially a few weeks before surgery. This speeds up the healing process and reduces the risk of complications.
Things to Consider After Gold Weight Eyelid Procedure
There may be things to be considered after the eyelid gold weight placement operation. This will help you get better results from the operation. Thus, a faster healing process can be experienced and postoperative scars can heal more quickly.
- Postoperative Care: After surgery, it is important to strictly follow the surgeon's instructions. The stitches or wound area on the eyelid will be sensitive. Therefore, the area should be kept clean and dry. Your surgeon will give detailed information on how to clean this area.
- Use of Eye Drops and Ointment: After eyelid gold weight placement surgery, prescribed eye drops and ointment should be used regularly to prevent infection and keep the eyelid moist. The frequency and dosage of these medications should be as directed by the surgeon.
- Physical Activity: During the recovery period after eyelid gold surgery, heavy physical activity and situations that may put pressure on the eye area should be avoided. It is recommended to avoid intense exercise, heavy lifting or upside down positions for at least a few weeks.
- Sleeping Position: Keeping the head elevated for the first few weeks can help reduce swelling. Prone sleeping should be avoided, sleeping on the back with the head elevated is the best position.
- Eye Protection: After gold weight eyelid surgery, the eyelid and eye area will be extra sensitive. Therefore, it may be helpful to wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from sunlight and dust. It is also important to protect the eyes from rubbing and hard blows.
