Abstract:
A common and challenging complication of lower blepharoplasty is severe lower eyelid retraction. This complication is esthetically displeasing and can result in ocular discomfort, blurred vision, and exposure keratopathy. The hard palate graft and cheek-lift procedures can eliminate the lower lid retraction without creating disfiguring facial scars. The authors discuss their approach to the treatment of severe lower eyelid retraction after cosmetic blepharoplasty.
