Abstract:
Eyelid reconstruction is complex and challenging since it is
not only for structural and functional restoration, but also
for an acceptable aesthetic result. In full thickness eyelid
injuries, it will involve both anterior and posterior lamella.
Therefore, when reconstructing the defect, it requires at
least two layers; one will be a flap with blood supply, and the
other can be a free graft. In this case, a rotational
advancement cheek flap and composite graft were used to
reconstruct the lower eyelid.
