“…Although Frost sutures are often used following oculoplastic procedures [2][3][4][5] and in the management of burns to the eyelids and ocular surface 1 , to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is no documented use to treat conjunctival chemosis following orbital trauma. The insertion of these sutures is a simple procedure, performed at the patient's bedside, which resulted in successful resolution of chemosis and prevented serious exposure keratopathy-related complications.…”

“…1,2 Eyelid malposition is the primary cause of most postblepharoplasty symptoms, which has been shown to occur in 15% to 20% 3 and often manifests as irritated, dry eyes. 4 The correction of lower eyelid retraction with inferior scleral show and corneal exposure can be surgically challenging. Functional and aesthetically pleasing results can be complicated by the force of gravity and postsurgical scarring.…”
Lower eyelid retraction repair with posterior lamellar grafting and lateral eyelid tightening can be recommended with confidence for eyelid retraction patients because most improved subjectively and by objective examination.
“…In addition, the anterior projection of the eyeball and the malar eminence should be compared on the lateral view. 10,13 Patients whose malar eminence lies posterior to their cornea (socalled negative vector) could have poor lower eyelid support, which means a higher risk of postoperative malposition. 14 -16…”
The lowering the lower eyelid procedure offers Asian patients desiring large oval eyes a novel surgical option. The procedure proved to be a reliable and consistent technique that provided satisfactory results in carefully selected patients.
