Ectropion Repair in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles
If you’re suffering from excessive tearing, irritation, or sagging of the lower eyelid, you may be dealing with ectropion—a condition where the eyelid turns outward and no longer protects the surface of the eye. At our Beverly Hills practice, Dr. Kami Parsa offers highly specialized ectropion repair to restore function and comfort. Patients from across Los Angeles, including West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Brentwood, turn to Dr. Parsa for expert care and natural-looking outcomes.
What Is Ectropion—and Why It Matters in Southern California
Ectropion typically results from age-related muscle laxity but may also develop due to facial nerve paralysis (such as Bell’s Palsy), trauma, previous surgery, or skin scarring. When the lower eyelid sags or pulls away from the eye, it disrupts tear drainage and leaves the ocular surface exposed. This can lead to symptoms such as dry eye, watery discharge, redness, blurred vision, and increased risk of corneal damage.
In Los Angeles County—where more than 15% of the population is aged 65 or older—the demand for specialized oculoplastic care is steadily increasing. Without treatment, ectropion can compromise both vision and quality of life. That’s why early evaluation and surgical repair by a fellowship-trained expert are essential.
Our Approach to Ectropion Repair
At our Beverly Hills surgical center, Dr. Parsa performs ectropion repair using techniques tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and underlying cause of eyelid malposition. Most commonly, the procedure involves lateral canthoplasty or lateral tarsal strip surgery to tighten and reposition the lower eyelid. In complex cases, skin or cartilage grafts may be required to reinforce eyelid structure.
The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with sedation. Most patients experience rapid relief from discomfort and can resume regular activities within 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are minimal and resolve quickly with proper post-operative care.
