Abstract: Objective To improve lower eyelid blepharoplasty by using myocutaneous flap and lateral one-third skin flap.Methods A total of 37 patients were recruited in this study and received lower eyelid blepharoplasty.Incision was made at the lower palpebral margin,and the extension of incision was hided into the outer canthus rhytids.Myocutaneous flap was made first followed by the preparation of skin flap at the lateral one-third of the lower eyelid.Results All the patients experienced a quick recovery from the surgery.The excess skin at the lateral canthus was completely removed,the incision was sutured under moderate tension,and the eyelid skin was flattened.No lid-retraction or lower eyelid ectropion was observed in the 6-to 12-month postoperative follow-up.The lateral incision sear was hidden and the operation outcome was satisfactory.Conclusions The lower eyelid blepharoplasty with myocutaneous flap and lateral one-third skin flap may lead to a satisfactory outcome with the formation of natural outer canthus angle and make the patients younger.
