  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ectropion/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351169

  Ectropion can usually be diagnosed with a routine eye exam and physical. Your doctor may pull on your eyelids during the exam or ask you to close your eyes forcefully. This helps him or her assess each eyelid’s muscle tone and tightness. […] Understanding how other conditions cause ectropion is important in choosing the correct treatment or surgical technique. […] If your ectropion is mild, your doctor might recommend artificial tears and ointments to ease the symptoms. Surgery is generally required to fully correct ectropion. […] The type of surgery you have depends on the condition of the tissue surrounding your eyelid and on the cause of your ectropion: […] Ectropion caused by muscle and ligament relaxation due to aging. Your surgeon will likely remove a small part of your lower eyelid at the outer edge. When the lid is stitched back together, the tendons and muscles of the lid will be tightened, causing the lid to rest properly on the eye. This procedure is generally relatively simple.

  Ectropion is an outward turning of the eyelid margin. […] Management almost always begins with lubrication with artificial tears, gels, and ointments. Surgical repair is commonly needed to improve the function of the eyelid and to protect the globe permanently. […] Treatment typically begins with aggressive lubrication of the eyes with artificial tears, gels, and ointments. […] Treatment is based on correcting the underlying etiology leading to ectropion. […] In cases of facial palsy, with the compromise of the orbicularis function, a lateral tarsal strip procedure may also be beneficial, as well as a lateral tarsorrhaphy to connect the lateral upper eyelid to the lateral lower eyelid. […] It is common for the bilateral lower eyelids to have asymmetric but affected eyelids, for example with involutional ectropion, both lower eyelids may be affected, but to different extents. It may be necessary to perform a bilateral lower eyelid repair to improve both lower eyelids and to provide a symmetric result. […] Surgery is often done to repair ectropion but the results are not ideal. Eye dryness and poor cosmesis remain two major post operative complications, leading to a poor quality of life.

  Ectropion is the turning out of the eyelid so that the inner surface is exposed. It most often affects the lower eyelid. […] Artificial tears (a lubricant) may ease dryness and keep the cornea moist. Ointment may be helpful when the eye can’t close all of the way, such as when you are asleep. […] Surgery is very often effective. When ectropion is related to aging or paralysis, the surgeon can tighten the muscles that hold the eyelids in place. If the condition is due to scarring of the skin, a skin graft or laser treatment may be used. The surgery is most often done in the office or at an outpatient surgery center. A medicine is used to numb the area (local anesthesia) before the surgery. […] The outcome is very often good with treatment. […] Most cases cannot be prevented. You may want to use artificial tears or ointments to prevent injury to the cornea, especially if you are waiting for a more permanent treatment.

  Ectropion may be further aggravated due to constant wiping of excessive tearing, which tends to pull the eyelid further from the eye. […] Ectropion prevents the tear film from properly lubricating the eye. To treat dryness, artificial tears and lubricating ointments may be used to keep the cornea moistened. A protective shield may be worn at night to keep the moisture in the eye as well. If your Ectropion is caused by weakened supporting structures in the eyelid, the condition is best treated surgically. Depending on the cause, surgery can shift the eyelid back to its normal position against the eye. Ectropion surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis using a local anesthetic. If the Ectropion is a result of scaring, skin cancer, trauma, facial nerve palsy, or some other factor, treatment of the underlying condition may be done before or at the same time that the Ectropion is repaired. […] At Miami Eye Center, Dr. Joseph Selem will meet with you during your private consultation to assess your individual situation. Dr. Selem can help you decide if Ectropion Repair in Miami is right for you.

• #1 The prevention and treatment of lower lid ectropion following blepharoplasty – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2349302/

  Ectropion and scleral show are the most common complications following lower lid blepharoplasty. […] In some cases, the addition of a wedge tarsectomy or tarsal strip procedure to a blepharoplasty in association with careful technique and postoperative measures is important in prevention of postblepharoplasty ectropion. […] Postoperative ectropion should initially be treated conservatively with massage. This may be effective up to 6 months postoperatively. […] If conservative measures fail, the etiology of the ectropion should be addressed. Laxity of the tarsus and canthal ligaments benefit from a horizontal lid-shortening procedure. Where there is vertical shortening from excessive skin resection or scarring of the orbital septum, there should be release and grafting of the deficiency.

  Ectropion is an outward turning of the eyelid margin. Ectropion can cause dryness of the eyes, excessive tearing, red eyes, and increased sensitivity to light and wind. It may occur unilaterally or bilaterally and is almost always in the lower eyelid. Acquired causes of ectropion include: involutional (due to aging or involutional changes), paralytic (due to seventh cranial nerve palsy), cicatricial (due to scarring), inflammatory, or mechanical. […] Correction of involutional and paralytic ectropion is generally performed with local anesthesia as an outpatient. It may also be performed as an office procedure. The surgery typically involves tightening the lower eyelid and rotating the eyelid margin back into a more normal position. A small incision is made in the outside corner (lateral canthus) of the eyelid. The eyelid is tightened by reattaching the tarsus (the thick, middle layer of the eyelid) to the bone of the lateral orbital rim. This surgery is referred to as a Lateral Tarsal Strip Procedure.

• #1 Ectropion Repair Techniques and the Role of Adjunctive Superotemporal Skin Transposition for Tarsal Ectropion

  https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/14/3/827

  Ectropion is a common eyelid problem and is defined as eversion of the eyelid margin and typically involves the lower eyelid. […] Common techniques for ectropion repair include horizontal tightening of the lid with lateral tarsal strip or Bick procedure, lateral tarsorraphy, inverting sutures and the sub-orbicularis oculi fat lift. […] We review the techniques for ectropion repair and describe a novel adjunctive technique called the superotemporal skin transposition (STS), which is well suited for patients with recurrent or tarsal ectropion. […] The STS is combined with a lateral tarsal strip or Bick procedure. […] The STS is a straightforward and useful adjunct for patients with severe, recurrent or tarsal ectropion. […] This review highlights the effectiveness of these techniques and introduces an adjunctive superotemporal skin-transposition technique. […] The skin transposition requires about five additional minutes of operating time, and presents minor risks of scarring and ecchymoses. […] In our pilot case series, this method has demonstrated patient satisfaction and favorable outcomes in early follow-ups.

  Options include canthopexy, canthoplasty, tarsal strip, wedge excision, and other specific procedures. […] Surgery is the definitive management of an ectropion. The type of procedure depends on aetiology, degree of lid laxity, and integrity of the canthal tendons. […] Definitive management is surgical. Medical management is temporizing but can improve symptoms. This includes lubrication of the ocular surface and horizontal taping of the eyelid. […] Involutional ectropion is treated by reducing the horizontal lid laxity. The specific procedure depends on the region’s main laxity and stability of the canthal tendons. […] This focuses on graft or flap reconstruction to lengthen the anterior lamella or release scars. Options include: Z-plasty, Flaps, Grafts. […] Specific Treatments: Lower eyelid retractor disinsertion: the Jones procedure reattached retractors to the tarsus. Punctal ectropion: the medial spindle procedure apposes the everted punctum. Paralytic ectropion with facial nerve paralysis may also require brow ptosis. Mechanical ectropion from facial ptosis may often require surgical elevation of the mid-face (such as a suborbicularis oculi fat lift), or a facelift in conjunction with lower lid tightening.

  Intra-lesional steroid injections inhibit keratinocyte proliferation, inflammatory compounds and have an anti-angiogenic effect. The dose and regimens vary between 1 to 40 mg/ml at 26 weeks intervals. The success rate is 40% and 100% for keloids. […] HA injections act as temporary volumizers and are only a short-term treatment option for eyelid ectropion. Mechanical stretching caused by HA injections is believed to induce fibroblasts to produce new collagen. […] Non-ablative fractional laser resurfacing is performed with a fractional non-ablative laser, consisting of an active erbium glass rod attached to a xenon flash, emitting at a wavelength of 1540 nm. […] In the recent times with the increasing use of less invasive techniques for fat harvesting like lip-suction, the autologous fat grafts for the correction of scars and cicatricial ectropion is being considered as a promising and less expensive alternative to the fillers.

• #1 Cicatricial Ectropion – EyeWiki

  https://eyewiki.org/Cicatricial_Ectropion

  Cicatricial ectropion occurs due to the shortening of the anterior lamella, which comprises of skin and orbicularis. Scarring or shortening of the anterior lamella causes outward rotation of the lid margin. […] To effectively manage cicatricial ectropion, it is important to have a proper understanding of various phases of wound healing and types of scar. […] The time taken by scar to mature and regain 70-80 % tensile strength is 6 12 months. Adjunct treatments during this period help in scar maturation and prevents the formation of hypertrophic scar. Immature scars are prone to hypertrophy and give poor results after scar revision. If used in the early post-traumatic period, certain agents may minimize ugly scar formation and cosmetically acceptable outcomes in the long run. These adjunct treatments include scar massage, silicone gel, intra-lesional injection of steroids, and antimetabolites.

  The irritation can be temporarily relieved with artificial tears and ointments to lubricate the eye. Surgical treatment for an ectropion often depends on the underlying cause. In the type of ectropion associated with aging, most surgeons elect to shorten and tighten the lower lid. This typically is completed with an incision of the skin at the outside corner of the eyelid and reattachment of the eyelid to underlying tissues and the upper eyelid. […] Sometimes, there are scars following trauma or the surgical removal of skin cancers. Your surgeon might need to use a skin graft taken from the upper eyelid or from behind the ear to repair the ectropion. Both the donor site for the graft and the surgical site will usually heal nicely within two weeks following surgery. […] The surgery to repair ectropion is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, and with the patient lightly sedated with oral and/or intravenous medications. You may have a patch overnight and then you will commonly use an antibiotic ointment for about a week. After your eyelids heal, your eye will feel comfortable again.

  Ectropion is a condition where the eyelid turns outward. Typically ectropion occurs on the lower eyelid exposing the inner lid in either one section of eye or across the entire lid. Ectropion prevents tears from draining from the eye correctly, resulting in irritation. […] The eyelid area is numbed with a local anesthetic and a light sedation may also be provided. The eyelid is tightened at the outer corner of the eyelid, called the lateral canthus, with a non-absorbable suture to secure the eyelid and absorbable sutures to close the skin. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes and can be combined with Cosmetic procedures if the patient desires. Patients need to apply ice compresses for 48-72 hours after surgery. Post-operatively an antibiotic and steroid ointment will need to be applied. Symptoms of ectropion usually resolve immediately. There may be some short-term bruising or swelling as a result of the procedure.
