This patient had bilateral lower lid ectropions resulting in tearing. Note that the left is more severe than the right. This patient received a bilateral lower lid ectropion repair and a left lower lid midface resuspension (midface lift) from Dr. Zoumalan. The midface resuspension allows for better support for her lower lid position and to help prevent it from recurring months or years after surgical repair.

This patient suffered an inward turning of the right lower lid (entropion). He also has constant irritation and tearing. The right lower lid underwent an entropion repair by Dr Zoumalan to help “turn” the lid back to a more normal position.

This patient suffered a left lower lid ectropion from prior eyelid skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma) resection. The removal of the skin cancer resulted in skin contracture and lid retraction near the eyelid. As a result, the patient complained of a malpositioned lid, tearing, and ocular (eye) irritation. Note that the retraction is worsened when the patient looks up (and with his mouth opened); this suggests a cicatricial (scar or shortening of the thin eyelid skin) component. In order to appropriately reposition his lower eyelid, a skin graft was required. He had already lost skin from him prior skin cancer resection, and procedures that would not require a skin graft (ie mid face lift with a canthal suspension) may end up working but only a short amount of time. This photo was taken 8 months after undergoing skin graft with Dr. Zoumalan to resurface the lower eyelid with an ectropion repair. The skin graft was taken from behind his ear (preauricular skin graft).
