The Management of Involutional Lower Lid Ectropion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lower lid ectropion is caused by the imbalance of the lower lid protractors and retractors. Laxity of the canthal tendons will affect the degree and location of the ectropion as well as the surgical decisions for its repair. A schema for the individualization of surgical correction as well as a new application of temporalis muscle transfer is presented.
