With trauma, surgeries, or diseases of the ocular surface, certain lower eyelid positional anomalies can appear: these are palpebral malpositions, the main forms of which are entropion and ectropion. Entropion corresponds to an inward rolling of the eyelid, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye. Conversely, ectropion is an outward eversion, where the eyelid detaches from the eye and disrupts tear drainage.
Eyelid malpositions can lead to irritation, tearing, dryness, or corneal abrasion. Depending on whether it is entropion or ectropion, they can cause chronic discomfort, local inflammation, and progressive deterioration of ocular comfort.
Surgery for palpebral malpositions aims to restore the normal position of the eyelid to protect the cornea, eliminate symptoms (chronic tearing, eyelash rubbing), improve ocular comfort, and re-establish the natural aesthetics of the gaze.

The method is adapted to the type of malposition to tighten the eyelid and restore its normal position.
Performed under local anesthesia with sedation, on an outpatient basis, it aims to precisely reposition the eyelid in 30–50 minutes.
Mild discomfort, transient edema, local care; sutures are removed within one week, and the result gradually stabilizes.
Recovery depends on the type of professional activity and any bruising. On average, a break of a few days to two weeks is recommended after blepharoplasty performed at the Lausanne clinic.
Skin can naturally loosen over time, but the results of blepharoplasty generally remain long-lasting, often between 20 and 30 years, depending on skin quality and lifestyle.
Yes. Wearing contact lenses is possible after the procedure once initial discomfort and swelling have resolved.
