Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department: What are the risks of blepharoptosis surgery?

Eyelid ptosis is a common eye problem, which can lead to limited vision, eye fatigue, bad appearance and other adverse effects. For some patients with severe symptoms, blepharoptosis surgery is the best choice to improve the problem. However, any operation will be accompanied by certain risks. As a well-known ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department always pays attention to the safety and surgical effect of patients when performing blepharoptosis surgery. The risks of surgery will be described in detail below.

1. Anesthesia risk

Local anesthesia is usually used for blepharoptosis surgery. This type of anesthesia has low risk, but there are still some potential risks. The patient may be allergic to narcotic drugs, leading to allergic reactions, such as dyspnea, rapid heartbeat, etc. In addition, narcotic drugs themselves may also cause nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms.

In Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, the professional anesthesia team will conduct a comprehensive assessment of patients before surgery to ensure that patients have no history of allergy to narcotic drugs and reduce the occurrence of anesthesia risks.

2. Postoperative infection risk

Postoperative infection is one of the common complications of blepharoptosis surgery. During the operation, the wound will contact with the external environment. Once the disinfection and postoperative wound management are not properly carried out, infection will occur. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, pain, pus discharge, etc.

Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department attaches great importance to aseptic operation in the operating room. Thorough disinfection and infection prevention measures will be taken before and after surgery to avoid postoperative infection. After the operation, the medical staff will conduct regular observation and treatment of the wound to ensure that the wound is clean and sterile.

3. Risk of bleeding and congestion

In blepharoptosis surgery, tissue cutting during surgery will damage small blood vessels, leading to increased risk of postoperative bleeding and congestion. Bleeding and congestion can lead to postoperative eyeball edema, blurred vision and other problems.

Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has rich surgical experience and superb technical skills. Through fine surgical operation and good hemostasis measures, the risk of bleeding and congestion is minimized. After surgery, the doctor will give appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment and cold compress and other measures to accelerate the regression of blood stasis and ensure the surgical effect and postoperative comfort of patients.

4. Risk of abnormal scar

The formation of scar after blepharoptosis surgery is a potential complication. Although preoperative surgical design and selection of appropriate surgical techniques can minimize the occurrence of scars, there are still some risks.

The expert team of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou will develop a personalized surgical plan according to the specific conditions of each patient to minimize the risk of scar. After the operation, the doctor will conduct regular reexamination, and make adjustments and treatments according to the recovery of the patient to ensure the minimization of scars.

To sum up, although there are certain risks in blepharoptosis surgery, these risks can be controlled and reduced to the greatest extent through the professional medical team and advanced equipment technology of Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department. Before the operation, patients need to carefully understand the risks and effects of the operation, fully communicate with doctors, and reasonably choose the operation plan to ensure the safety and success of the operation.
