stability in the eyelid. It begins by selecting a good-quality implant from a recognized manufacturer. Rough edges in the implant or poor material increase the chance of postoperative infection and a higher risk of implant extrusion. This last point is vital, as extrusion, i.e., when the implant is pushed out through the skin, is the most common cause of reintervention to remove the implant. To lower the risk of this complication, many eyelid surgeons cover the implant with a thin sheet of a biological material that creates a barrier between the implant and the thin eyelid skin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
