Abstract:
This short report is written to demonstrate the usefulness of healing by secondary intention in oculoplastics. It shows photo strips of our patient outcomes, reflecting the excellent healing capacity of the face. The main point is to challenge misconceptions that healing by secondary intention is prone to infection and scarring, but instead, to show it is a safe and practical approach to our patients.
