A surgeon said a graft from my hard palate would be the last option to have this issue fixed. I've gone through all the simple fixes. My lid pulls down when I open my mouth. This is what bothers me. It shows up in photos, my eye gets really red and I'm constantly trying to not open my mouth for fear that my eyelid will pull down. Will the graft procedure correct this? (If the operation goes well) Or is this just a procedure to fix the scleral show when my face is at rest?

Answer: Several options for lower eyelid retraction When the lower eyelids pull down, you have a few options. You often need to lengthen the inner eyelid. This can be done with hard palate, ear cartilage, or spacer materials made out of purified animal cartilage like Tarsys. The most important thing is choosing an experienced surgeon familiar with all aspects of eyelid surgery.

Answer: Lower eyelid retraction reconstruction surgery hello LauraMake sure that you are comfortable with her surgeon and you have obtained consultations with board certified facial plastic surgeons or very experienced oculoplastic surgeons.in any case in year condition a graft to the posterior or inner lining of the eyelid called the posterior lamella is a very sound and important part of a reconstruction like years. Hard palate graft or even mucosal graft from the inner lining of the lip is a very good choice. The hard palate component may be chosen for U because it offers a little more rigidity and support particularly early on. He may also require a tarsal strip or lid tightening procedure and potentially even a skin graft to the skin of the anterior part of the eyelid or anterior lamella as recall.Willits fix the issue of the lid pulling down when he opened her mouth?
