Eyecorner surgery may lead to complications such as infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. If proper disinfection is not performed during the procedure, infections can easily occur, requiring medical treatment to prevent postoperative scarring. If the surgeon lacks experience or uses rough techniques, there is a high risk of damaging blood vessels around the eye, leading to bleeding that requires hemostasis. Given the complex network of nerves and blood vessels in the eye area, nerves may be inadvertently damaged during the procedure.
