Eyelid margin reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to repair the eyelid margin, the edge of the eyelid where the eyelashes grow. This procedure is typically performed after trauma, the removal of eyelid tumors, or for congenital defects that affect the eyelid margin.
The surgery involves carefully suturing the eyelid margin to restore its normal shape, function, and position. In some cases, skin grafts or flap surgery may be used to repair the area.
Eyelid margin reconstruction helps restore both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyelids, improving vision, comfort, and appearance.
