    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Lower eyelid reconstruction presents challenges including potential complications like lash loss, malposition, and lid margin deformities.
    • Maintaining acceptable function and aesthetic appearance of the reconstructed lower eyelid is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a simple and effective method for lower eyelid reconstruction.
    • To highlight the advantages and disadvantages of this specific surgical technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes upper eyelid tissue, including tarsus and conjunctiva, to construct the new lower eyelid.
    • Emphasizes meticulous surgical details and specific dressing techniques to prevent complications.

    Main Results:

    • The reconstructed lower eyelid demonstrates acceptable function and appearance with minimal late retraction.

  • Upper eyelid function and appearance are generally unaffected.
  • External scars are typically avoided, except for a small scar from an optional lash transplant.

    • Conclusions:

    • This method is considered a simple and effective approach for lower eyelid reconstruction by ophthalmic surgeons.
    • Key advantages include good functional and aesthetic outcomes, minimal upper lid interference, and avoidance of significant scarring.
    • Disadvantages involve a prolonged period of eye closure for the patient and limited postoperative eye inspection.
