Combined Transconjunctival Release and Midface-lift for Postblepharoplasty Ectropion Repair

摘要

Ectropion associated with blepharoplasty is a clinical challenge for even the most experienced surgeon. The etiology of postblepharoplasty ectropion is multifactorial, and the need for a thorough preoperative blepharoplasty analysis, including checking lower eyelid laxity with a snap test, is critical and can alert the surgeon to the need for an adjunctive procedure at the time of blepharoplasty. Even with a complete preoperative analysis in the most experienced surgeon's hands, postoperative ectropion may occur, necessitating correction.
