Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ideal methods for correction of lower eyelid retraction following lower eyelid blepharoplasty. METHODS: Transcanthal canthopexy was used in 5 patients (8 eyes) with mild lower eyelid retraction. Transcanthal canthopexy combined with Hamra's lower blepharoplasty was used in 15 patients (27 eyes) with severe lower lid retraction. RESULTS: 14 patients (25 eyes) were followed up for 6-12 months. Of them, 13 patients achieved satisfactory results; one patient had undercorrection of retraction. CONCLUSION: Transcanthal canthopexy is a simple and effective method for correction of mild lower eyelid retraction following lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Transcanthal canthopexy combining Hamra's lower blepharoplasty may be an ideal choice for correction of severe lower eyelid retraction.
