University of California Los Angeles Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery UCLA Clinical Review Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Lower eyelid reconstruction ( ) (n=52) 1. Ectropion (eversion): 51% 2. Entropion (inversion): 30% 3. Full-thickness Scar: 19% or n=10 Underwent described staged technique

University of California Los Angeles Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Results Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Mechanism: 75%  Full-thickness injury 25%  After transconjunctival incision with partial injury MVA = 60% Assault = 40% PreoperativePostoperative

University of California Los Angeles Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Results Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Timing: 9.1 months after injury (range=6-17 mths) Procedures: 2.6 required PreoperativePostoperative

University of California Los Angeles Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Results Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Symptoms: Preop: Epiphora (90%), tearing (100%), redness (100%), Blurring vision (80%), dryness (80%) Postop: Epiphora (0%), tearing (0%), redness (0%), Blurring vision (10%), dryness (20%) PreoperativePostoperative

University of California Los Angeles Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Results Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Complications: (40%) 1. Redundant palatal graft (office excision) 2. Partial loss FTSG (healed secondarily) 3. Cellulitis after fat graft (resolved abx) PreoperativePostoperative

University of California Los Angeles Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Conclusions Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Our staged approach for reconstruction of scarred/displaced lower eyelid provided symptomatic improvement. We suggest caution with transconjunctival approach following partial lower eyelid injury.
