“…The correction of lower lid malposition, including scleral show and ectropion, requires effective lateral canthoplasty. Fixation, to establish both stability and favorable cosmetic outcomes, can be accomplished with the Mitek suture anchor system through a minimal incision [26,27]. The suspensory technique’s short learning curve and quick, effective correction also provide good long-term results.…”

Facial nerve palsy has an effect on a person's well-being functionally and psychologically. Therefore, comprehensive patient management is essential. One of the most common uncomfortable and potentially debilitating features is associated with the incapacity for eye closure. Restoration of eye closure is a key consideration during the surgical management of facial palsy. In this article, we introduce simple surgical methods-which are relatively easy to learn and involve the upper and lower eyelids-for achieving eye closure. Correcting upper eyelid function involves facilitating the component of eye closure that is in the same direction as gravity and is, therefore, less complicated and favorable outcomes than correction of lower lid. Aesthetic aspects should be considered to correct the asymmetry caused by facial palsy. Lower eyelid function involves a force that opposes gravity for eye closure, which makes correction of lower eyelid ectropion more challenging than surgery for the upper eyelid, particularly in terms of effecting a sustained correction. Initially, proper ophthalmic evaluation is required, including identifying the chronicity and severity of ectropion. Also, it is important to determine whether or not lateral canthoplasty is necessary. The lateral tarsal strip procedure is commonly used for lower lid correction. However, effective lower lid correction can be achieved with better cosmesis when extensive supporting techniques are applied, including those involving cheek tissue.

“…29 Interventions include nocturnal patching, treatment of concomitant sleep apnea, and eyelid tightening with pentagonal wedge resection or lateral canthal tendon plication. [30][31][32][33] In discussing conditions affecting the eyelid malposition component of the mnemonic, the authors have attempted to walk the line between being overly inclusive and overly exclusive, and many of the judgments of what to discuss are no doubt informed by their own specific biases. Distinctions are blurred, but they tend to categorize upper eyelid cicatricial entropion, trichiasis, and aberrant seventh nerve regeneration (crocodile tears) as more related to reflexive hypersecretion than an alteration in the tear distribution system.…”
