    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a common procedure for aesthetic and functional concerns.
    • Addressing significant cheek edema and bags often requires advanced surgical techniques.

    Observation:

    • The study details an extended lower eyelid blepharoplasty technique involving a large myocutaneous flap dissection extending over the zygoma.
    • This approach was applied to 43 eyelids across 24 patients.

    Findings:

    • The extended myocutaneous flap dissection effectively eliminates large edematous bags on the cheek.
    • The procedure demonstrated utility in selected cases of thyroid disease, orbital reconstruction, and facial trauma.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a valuable option for complex lower eyelid and midface reconstructive challenges.
