Eyelid Reconstruction After Skin Cancer, Canthopexy

This 34-year-old female was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma of the left lower eyelid. After two rounds of Mohs surgery, a flap reconstruction was performed. In instances where surgery is performed on the lower eyelid, the lower eyelid can become easily distorted. In order to prevent this from happening, a procedure known as canthopexy is performed which tightens the corner of the eye to prevent drooping. Results are shown at 1 year.
