Eyelid Paresis (weakness) and paralysis (no function) is a troublesome complication of Bell’s palsy or other forms of facial paralysis. When eyelid paresis or paralysis occurs it is critical to help rehabilitate eyelid closure. This is typically done with implants that weigh the lid down so it closes better. These implants are made of Gold and Platinum as these are inert materials which typically do not induce eyelid inflammation. Today these implants can be placed in a cosmetically acceptable way.
