“…It is important to consider the traction vectors of the flaps over the eyelid to avoid complications, such as lagophthalmos and ectropion. The color and texture of the skin selected for grafts and flaps should also be considered to preserve the function and aesthetics of the eyelid [23][24][25] .…”

“…Optimal results from repairing lower eyelid contractures and ectropion are achieved after correction of the eyelid retraction or ectropion when the lower palpebral margin covers the pupil inferior margin by approximately 0.2 cm with the eyes open; the eyelids can be closed easily and completely without dysraphia [10]; the texture, contour, and skin color of the repaired tissue is well-matched with [11] without secondary devitalization of the donor area [12]; and the incision lines are disguised as much as possible [13].…”

An Inferiorly Based Rotation Flap for Defects Involving the Lower Eyelid and Medial Cheek

We report a series of 20 patients who underwent inferiorly based rotation flaps for reconstruction of defects of the medial and infraorbital cheek and lower eyelid following Mohs micrographic surgery for nonmelanoma skin cancer. Defects ranged from 1.2 to 3.2 cm in longest diameter and patients ranged from 27 to 91 years of age. All 20 patients had excellent functional and cosmetic outcome with up to 2-year follow-up and no subsequent surgical or laser revision. There were no instances of partial or complete flap necrosis, hematoma, or ectropion. Our series includes defects that originated on the cheek as far laterally as directly below the lateral canthus, and terminated as far medially as the nasal sidewall. An inferiorly based rotation flap is a viable alternative to a laterally based rotation flap and should be in the armamentarium of reconstructive dermatologic and facial plastic surgeons.
