Lower Eyelid Reconstruction, Entropion: Follow-up
Updated: Jun 18, 2009
Outcome and Prognosis
Entropion surgery often has a poorer outcome than ectropion surgery and more recurrences. Frequency of surgical failure can be greatly reduced by carefully looking at the etiology of the entropion. Augmentation with BOTOX® for overacting orbicularis, augmentation with a spacer graft for patients with short posterior lamellae, and reinsertion of inferior retractors all can be helpful, either singly or in combination.3
