Medical complications of Rita Guedes' eye surgery

Overview

Actress Rita Guedes initially appeared on the program ‘Domingão com Huck’ wearing sunglasses to protect her right eye following an operation to address an issue with the eye elevator. At that time, she noted she still had internal stitches and was undergoing physiotherapy and acupuncture to prepare for her participation in the ‘Dança dos Famosos’ competition.

Later, Guedes reported severe medical complications stemming from a blepharoplasty procedure. She stated the surgery lasted approximately six hours and alleged the practitioner was not a specialized oculoplastic surgeon or ophthalmologist. Following the operation, Guedes suffered extreme facial swelling and deep eye pain, leading to a five-day hospitalization. She was diagnosed with ocular keratitis and severe conjunctival edema, conditions that posed a risk of permanent vision loss or strabismus. Guedes also claimed that hyaluronic acid was applied to her face without authorization while she was unconscious.

Medical experts have noted that keratitis is a known complication of blepharoplasty, often occurring when the eyelid fails to close completely and leaves the ocular surface unprotected. Surgeons emphasize that the procedure involves managing orbital fat, muscle, and eyelid positioning, requiring individualized anatomical evaluation and proper preoperative assessment to mitigate risks such as dry eyes.

After wearing sunglasses for eight weeks during her time on ‘Dança dos Famosos’, Guedes appeared on television without them to further detail her experience. She updated her account of the complications, stating the inflammation required a 10-day hospitalization rather than five. She alleged medical negligence, claiming the procedure lasted three hours longer than typical and that the physician failed to report the complications to her. Guedes credited physiotherapy with helping to prevent permanent damage.
