Lagophthalmus is the inability to close the eyelids completely leading to exposed cornea (scleral show) which can result in corneal scar formation and vision loss. The skin of upper eyelid is soft and flexible, so this makes winking easier. To return the upper eyelid its soft and flexible structure, Z-plasty, VY advancement flaps, full-thickness skin grafts, and pedicle flaps are defined as treatment options. The aim of this study was to demostrate the usage of bipedicle flap and midface lift as an alternative treatment option for lagophthalmus that is related to the vertical shortness of upper eyelid developed after blepharoplasty.
