Main Article Content
Abstract
The primary goals of lower eyelid reconstruction surgery are function, esthetics, and minimizing surgical morbidity. The classification of lower eyelid defects can be determined by the percentage of horizontal eyelid dysfunction and the identification defects. The deformity of the posterior lamella has been corrected by a modified Hughes procedure using a tarsoconjunctival advancement flap. The aim of this case report was to propose a modified Hughes procedure for reconstructing a large lower eyelid defect. After two years of observation, the patient had a normal appearance. There was no tumor recurrence or other complication.
