Human eyes are fragile and a very delicate artwork of nature given their complex anatomical structure. Eyelids are responsible for cradling the eyes in such a way that the eye stays protected from external debris and injuries. Eyelids may appear smaller and not important but they play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the eyes. Especially when aging, the skin around the eyes starts thinning, stretching, along with sagging muscles around the eyelids.
Most of the softer tissues of the eyelids start losing volume after malignant growths. Changes in the shape and size of the defects in eyelids often can interfere with the vision of the eyes. This is why The Tenzel flap restoration corrective procedure is necessary to help remove such defects and related deformities like sagging eyelids that have lost elasticity in them.
Tenzel flap surgery is a type of procedure that is used to correct or reconstruct the defects in the eyelids of a patient. The Tenzel flap restoration technique allows the cosmetic surgeon to reconstruct the lower eyelid defects by using a semi-circular rotation flap or the tenzel flap. Tenzel flap restoration is perfect for up to 50 percent lower eyelids defects. Tenzel flap surgery provides a better take on performing reconstructive eye surgery in India with its less invasive tissue management by rearranging more dynamically.
Eye defects and tumor based deformities are traditionally treated with skin grafting or more invasive removal procedures. However, Tenzel flap reconstruction of eye defects allows more control to the cosmetic surgeon at our clinics in Mumbai by using the more intelligent approach of rearranging the rotation of skin flaps around the eyelids.
Many times patients are not aware of their malignant lesions and tumors. They would often associate any new growth on the eyelids or surrounding skin or anywhere on the body for that matter, with cosmetic hindrance only. However, patients must get an expert’s opinion first-hand after discovering any such growth or abnormalities. Failure to do so can put the life of a patient at risk as these lesions can be cancerous or become one over time. An expert surgeon in India can figure out the signs, appearance, and shape of the malignant growths to evaluate the excision of the tumor.
When diagnosed early and removed accordingly following the due preventive measures, the patient can avoid many health complications in their eye reconstructive procedures. Patients are required to look for any new change on the skin; infection, any changes in the eyelashes, discoloration, etc. It is critical to understand the anatomy and function of the eyelid. Many cosmetic surgeons emphasize the need for identifying the growth in advance before treating them.
Skin cancers and malignancy growth resection on the eyelids or any other eyelid defects can be the result of aging skin or an injury, burns, or even birth defects. Such defects can cause problems with the normal functioning of the eyelid or can hamper the eyesight as well. Many such defects can heal on their own or require medical intervention.
In minor cases, our best cosmetic surgeons at The Esthetic Clinics in India might try correcting the condition with few sutures. However, in complex cases, sutures might not be enough and more complex reconstruction might be required. In such cases where the damage is significant and requires invasive intervention, the patient can consult our top plastic surgeon to discuss the various possible approaches.
One of them is the Tenzel flap procedure, where the surgeon would stitch down the edges of the wound together or edge-to-edge sutures around the eye by using the skin flaps. The process is often done by rotating and suturing flaps of skin on the lower eyelid to complete the eye reconstructive procedure. In several cases that are more complex in nature, a surgeon might suggest more than one surgical intervention to refine the eyelid function of the patient if needed.
The eyelids of a patient can have varying degrees of defect that can cause difficulty in opening or closing the eyelids, pain, or vision problems. The lower eyelids around the eyes have the elasticity to hold the arch design of the surgery and tension of sutures. Tenzel flap surgical procedure is well suited for defects size of less than 50 percent of the total lower eyelid horizontally. Patients with such eye defects will have to discuss with their eye specialist or a cosmetic surgeon at a clinic nearby to discuss their possible options for the treatment.
Tenzel flap is a popular procedure for minor to moderately thick eyelid defects on or around the eyelid skin. Our top plastic surgeon would diagnose and evaluate the condition of the eyelid to define the best possible design of the flap rotation. After a thorough diagnosis of the eye and eyelids, an expert cosmetic surgeon in Mumbai would advise the best suitable method to correct the eye defects or malign resection wounds, or thick eyelid problems.
In the Tenzel flap approach, the plastic surgeon or ophthalmologist in India would make the incision on the lower eyelid by marking the appropriate site and deformity site to be removed. The surgeon would make an incision in an arch shape, that is facing upwards to avoid sagging or loose skin on the eyelids. The semicircle shape of the arch allows the surgeon to stretch the eyelid to cover the resection site by rotating and repositioning the flap.
One of the main concerns while performing this eyelid corrective surgery is to undermine what is the size of the defect. To determine the size of the tumor or malign lesion on the lower eyelid, an expert surgeon would measure the site accordingly. Generally, the surgeon would measure the lesion or malign site horizontally up to its edges on the lower eyelid. As a rule of thumb to decide on the suitable procedure for eyelid corrective surgery such as the Tenzel flap procedure in India, measuring the lesion size is of utmost importance.
Tenzel flap procedure is one of the methods to do eyelid reconstruction in India. Eyelid reconstruction for any associated defect in the eyes requires the patient to be aware of the various treatment options. It is always a good idea to sit one on one before the surgical procedure at our clinic in Mumbai to understand what all happens in such surgeries.
