Veloplasty

Veloplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance and function of the eyelids. It is commonly performed to correct conditions such as ptosis (drooping eyelids), blepharospasm (involuntary eyelid spasms), and to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the eyelids. The procedure can be performed using various techniques, including blepharoplasty, which involves removing excess skin and fat, and can be performed on the upper, lower, or both eyelids. Another technique is ptosis repair, which involves lifting the eyelid to correct drooping. Blepharospasm correction may involve injecting botulinum toxin or performing a surgical procedure to relax the eyelid muscles. Veloplasty can be performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, and recovery typically involves minimal discomfort and a short hospital stay. The procedure can help improve vision, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance the overall appearance of the eyelids. However, like any surgical procedure, veloplasty carries risks, including infection, scarring, and asymmetry. Patients should discuss the potential benefits and risks with their surgeon before undergoing the procedure.
