Aesthetic repair of the lower eyelid should use palpebral skin and restrict the cutaneous scars to the orbital area. Except in young patients or those having previously undergone a blepharoplasty, it is usually possible to raise a 10- or 12-mm-wide flap from the upper eyelid. The use of such a flap lined with an alar chondromucosal graft is advocated in a one-stage procedure. This graft ensures a good functional result and the stability of the new eyelid because the cartilage is as high in its bulk as the lid. In spite of histologic differences, where the tarsus is not a cartilage and the inner lining of the ala nasi is not actually a mucosa, the alar chondromucosal graft is very much like the tarsoconjunctival complex. When the alar defect is accurately repaired, no deformation of the nose results.

Three-Dimensional Tarsal Plate Reconstruction Using Lower Lateral Cartilage of the Nose.
Ann Plast Surg
April 2022
From the Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department, Mersin University Medical Faculty, Mersin, Turkey.
Background: Many types of graft tissue have been used to reconstruct the posterior lamella of the eyelids in cases of full-thickness defect, lid retraction, and loss of lower lid stability. In this study, lower lateral cartilage of the nose was used for the reconstruction of posterior lamella of the eyelids, which mimics the tarsal plate in shape, thickness, and size.
Material And Methods: This study included 10 patients who underwent lid reconstruction to support tarsal plate strength and repair full-thickness defects of the eyelids due to tumor excision and trauma.

Eyelid reconstruction is a challenging surgical procedure because of the special function and structure of the eyelids. There are various useful techniques which can be used to reconstruct eyelid defects. In this report, the authors aimed to present the clinical results of angular artery-based island flap for the repair of the full thickness eyelid defects.

Purpose: Lower lid defects involving more than 75% of the lid's length or affecting the cheek are usually reconstructed with a Mustardé rotational cheek flap. This solution often induces postoperative ectropion. The Texier procedure (an upper lid myocutaneous flap and a chondromucosal alar graft) is usually indicated for 1-step reconstruction of full-thickness defects involving less than 50% of the lower lid.

Introduction: Reconstruction of an endonasal chondromucosal defect without skin defect is a rare event, which involves functional and esthetic outcomes. We report the original use of a composite graft, for the repair of an endonasal chondromucosal defect.
Observation: A 57-year-old woman presented with extensive tissue loss after the complete resection of an arteriovenous malformation.
