Before you enter cosmetic treatment for your eyelids, your eyelid surgeon will prescribe you an antibiotic which safeguards against any eye infection that could be contracted post-surgery.
A very common eye infection- blepharitis, is known to attack eyelid surgery patients who have either not followed the surgeon’s instructions or do not have a competent doctor taking care of them.
Also known as anterior blepharitis, this potential eyelid surgery infection is caused due to an attack from the staphylococcus bacteria. The infection affects the area in front of the eyelids where the eyelashes emerge. Scalp dandruff, as strange as it sounds, is also another cause of blepharitis.
The bad part about blepharitis is that the condition is chronic, which means there is no known cure that will take care of it completely. Eyelid surgery patients are advised to ensure that they maintain proper hygiene in the eye region before they think about a blepharoplasty procedure.
Warm compresses to loosen the crusts, regular scrubbing with cotton, water and baby shampoo and careful eye hygiene have to be considered for this eye infection. They are known to minimize discomfort. If the severity of the problem does increase, it’s best to consult your ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon.
