Assessment of functional and aesthetic outcomes post-reconstruction
Total defect dimensions were 25% to 50% of the lower lid length
Restoration of lower lid function and aesthetics was achieved in all cases
Minimized morbidity from donor site due to careful graft selection and flap techniques
Successful reconstruction of the grey line and preservation of eyelashes
