Abstract

A new technique of lower eyelid reconstruction was developed by using an ipsilateral upper eyelid rotation flap. After resection of a tumor in the lower eyelid, it is possible to replace the defect by a full-thickness upper eyelid rotation flap. Knowledge of exact eyelid anatomy is necessary to perform this kind of operation. In addition to the well-known techniques, the rotation flap constitutes a complete anatomic reconstruction of the lower eyelid with no functional loss of the upper eyelid.
