Q: Stitch eyelids to eyebrow to fix ectropion after eyelid surgery?
A:
Stitching the lower eyelid to the eyebrow is only part of the operation. Most likely the surgeon plans on removing scar tissue from your lower eyelids, and possibly placing tissue from elsewhere in your body into your eyelid as a spacer.
The stitches to your brow are used to hold the eyelid in the correct position until some of the healing has occurred. Think of it like a cast for a broken bone.
