At what point is it worth starting the treatment at the diagonal? Does treating wrinkles in a child make sense? Is it worth introducing treatment in young children? Can such a defect disappear by itself in age? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
At what point should diagonal wrinkle treatment be started?
Hello and welcome. My name is Anna and I am a mother of a six-month-old son. The doctor diagnosed my child angular wrinkle. The only thing I learned from him is that it is nothing dangerous and we do not have to do anything about it or undertake any treatment for the time being. I am a bit afraid of these recommendations because I am worried that the diagonal wrinkle may obstruct later vision or cause some other eye defects. I would like to ask for advice when it is worth treating a wrinkle?
Czy treatment of the diagonal wrinkle in a child makes sense, or maybe we really should leave it as it is now? I read somewhere that such a defect may disappear by itself, but I am a little afraid of it and I would not like delaying the treatment of the diagonal wrinkle resulted in some more serious health problems for my son. I am also worried that the wrinkle will be some kind of defect that my peers can laugh about. Perhaps I am worried in advance, but I would be grateful if you answered my question – is it worth starting treatment of a child’s angular wrinkle and when?
Your doctor advises you when is the best time to start treating diagonal wrinkles
The nasal wrinkle is the vertical skin fold on the side of the nose that covers the inner corner of the eye. It is an inborn trait, sometimes it can be driven in the family. It is a hallmark of the Asian population. It may be an isolated defect. It is also observed in congenital syndromes such as Down syndrome, cat scream syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. An additional one occurs in the case of prematurity. It is seen more often in infants than in older children. It may coexist with other eyelid defects, e.g. drooping eyelid or a short, narrow eyelid fissure. Often, this defect is associated with apparent strabismus, i.e. the impression of the presence of strabismus in a patient without the actual sight defect.
The doctor examining the diagonal wrinkle measures the length and width of the eyelid gap, verifying that the eye is properly closing. The skin fold can be pulled back, exposing the inner corner of the eye. Diagnostics of the diagonal wrinkle includes a complete ophthalmological examination.
Not always the presence of a diagonal wrinkle requires surgery. With age, the defect may naturally become blurred. In the case of older children, when the diagonal wrinkle largely covers the eyelid gap, surgical intervention may be necessary to enlarge the patient’s field of vision. By performing surgery, the defect can be completely eliminated. Incisions with surgical instruments are made in the natural folds of the eyelid, which is why they are often completely invisible afterwards. Eyelid surgery is often performed only for aesthetic reasons. If the patient does not want to undergo surgery, there are also other alternative methods in the field of aesthetic medicine, e.g. hyaluronic acid injection. They do not completely eliminate the defect, but improve the visual effect.
If a child is suspected of having a diagonal wrinkle, it is best to contact a pediatrician. After examining the patient, the pediatrician will verify the need for an ophthalmologist consultation.
