I had a gold weight put in my eye to help me close my eye after a head injury. The eye, even though it shut mostly, it still need lubricating and would droop when I was tired. I met Mr Malhotra and he recommended inserting a platinum chain instead of the gold weight. This would help me shut my eye better but also to make the eye look better and more normal. The gold weight was cumbersome and could be seen by others most of the time like a lump in my eyelid. I had the operation under sedation. The gold weight was removed and the chain put in. This did not take long and I did not feel much pain. I was given antibiotic gel to put on the eye for two weeks and saw Mr Malhotra a month afterwards. I had hardly any swelling after the operation or pain. I was amazed that immediately it was doing the same as the gold weight functionally and looked so much better. People cannot even see it now, and remark on how good my eyes look. Many thanks to Mr Malhotra and his team. Having Facial Palsy on one side means that there are a lot that people who notice my one sidedness especially when I talk or smile. The gold weight (although better than nothing when I had to wear an eye patch) just made it stand out even more. The chain in my eyelid has helped my confidence because I believe hardly anyone could see any difference in my eyelids. I am very grateful and glad I had the operation.
