Eyelid surgery is one of the most
popular cosmetic surgeries performed in Malaysia. Unfortunately, the
demand has led to an expansion of unlicensed practitioners performing
procedures to the eyelids which they are not trained. Such
practitioners are typically beauticians who perform these procedures
in their salons or non-certified foreign doctors flown in by beauty
salon operators to operate in hotels. Aside from the unsterile
conditions where these operations are performed, many of these
practitioners are unable to manage the complications arising from
their operations.
This 48
year-old woman had had two operations in a hotel by a foreign doctor
to create double eyelids. She was unhappy with the result as the
skin creases were significantly different on both sides (left
picture). Revisional blepharoplasty was carried out to address the
asymmetry, the right picture was taken 10 days post-revision.
This patient had had double eyelid
procedure in a beauty saloon. The procedure was performed
by a Chinese "surgeon". However, the skin creases were uneven
(picture left) and the "surgeon" could not be contacted. She came
for a revision to balance the two sides (picture right).
