Usually individuals above the age group of 30 are the favored patrons of an eyelid surgery procedure. Sagging upper lids and baggy lower lids are very common reasons why people in this age group opt for a blepharoplasty.
Sadly, it also makes most of these individuals susceptible to contracting an infection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus better known as MRSA or simply 'staph'. At worst, an infection caused by this bacterium can be fatal.
One case of staph infection spread from the eyelid of a 52-year-old patient to the back of the eye and within a short period of time rendered his eye useless.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we maintain the best healthcare services and hygiene practices- two very effective safeguards against an infection of staph. In addition, we make use of Antibacterial Sutures which have been in use for killing off staph bacteria at the site of the incision itself for quite sometime.
Removing staph at the root level is crucial for the prevention of its spread and these sutures make it possible. Developed by Ethicon, division of the trusted medical equipment brand Johnson & Johnson Ltd., Antibacterial Sutures attack the germs at the root level.
Besides, at our advanced surgical institute we also follow an exhaustive screening process to eliminate those eyelid surgery candidates who are at a high level of risk as well. Get an appointment with us to know more about eyelid surgery procedures and how you can dodge an infection.
