During Blepharoplasty or lid reduction surgery a variable amount of skin, muscle and orbital fat is sculpted to alter the contour and shape of the eyelids. Upper or lower eyelid surgery can be performed as separate procedures or together.

Entropion describes an inward rotation of the eyelid causing the skin and lashes to rub against the surface of the eye. This causes irritation, discharge, tearing and redness and over time causes severe damage to the eye and loss of vision.

A significant portion of A/Prof Wilcsek's practice involves surgery in patients who have had prior trauma or eyelid surgery. Re-do surgery is always more challenging and must be approached with careful consideration. Some patients may have had skins cancers removed that have either recurred or which were not fully excised at the initial procedure. Other patients may have had surgery of the eyelids or surrounding areas that have resulted in an unsatisfactory change in the position or contour of the eyelids.
