Entropion Repair in Aguadilla, PR

At Icala Medical Aesthetics in Aguadilla, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez expertly performs entropion repair to correct eyelids that turn inward, causing the lashes and skin to rub against the eye. This condition often leads to irritation, tearing, redness, and even corneal damage if left untreated. Our goal is to restore comfort, protect vision, and achieve a natural, symmetrical eyelid position.

Understanding Entropion

Entropion commonly occurs as a result of aging, scarring, or muscle weakness around the eyelid. When the eyelid margin rotates inward, it can create significant discomfort and increase the risk of infection. In some cases, the condition may also result from trauma, prior surgery, or inflammation that affects the tissue structure.

Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating the underlying cause to prevent recurrence and ensure lasting relief. Addressing entropion early not only improves comfort but also helps preserve the health of the eye’s surface.

How Entropion Repair Works

Entropion repair is typically performed under local anesthesia with light sedation. During surgery, Dr. Díaz-Vélez carefully repositions and tightens the muscles and tendons responsible for eyelid support, returning the lid margin to its proper position. Depending on the type and severity of the condition, different techniques may be used, such as specialized sutures, tightening the outer corner of the eyelid, or reinforcing weakened tissue.

The procedure generally takes less than an hour, and patients can return home the same day. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and close follow-up to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.

Benefits of Entropion Repair

  • Protects the cornea from irritation and damage
  • Reduces tearing, redness, and inflammation
  • Restores the eyelid to a natural position
  • Prevents long-term vision complications
  • Improves comfort and appearance

What to Expect After Surgery

Most patients notice immediate improvement in comfort and relief from irritation once swelling subsides. Mild bruising or tightness may occur for a few days, but most normal activities can resume quickly. Prescription eye drops and lubricants help keep the eye comfortable during healing. Follow-up visits ensure that the eyelid remains properly aligned and stable over time.
