This patient presented with advanced lower eyelid retraction due to both skin and full-thickness eyelid shortage following a poorly-performed transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
The repair required providing new eyelid tissue and support by (1) grafting new skin obtained from a donor site located behind the patient's ear, and (2) reinforcing the eyelid's structural system by creating a "new" lateral canthal tendon (tarsal strip resuspension).
