Ectropion is the turning outward of the lower
eyelid, or sagging of the lower eyelid. The causes
of this problem include aging causing a relaxation
of the eyelid structures, facial paralysis, scarring
from trauma, infection or previous surgery
including lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The repair of
this condition generally involves tightening of the
lower eyelid and sometimes may need a skin graft
placed to the lower eyelid.
