Complications of the semicircular flap technique of eyelid reconstruction include lateral canthal webbing, ectropion, lid notching, symblepharon, and tissue fullness of the lateral lid.

It should be emphasized that the semicircular flap remains a superb technique for reconstruction of defects involving up to 80% of the lower eyelid.
