This report aims to address the surgical management of cicatricial ectropion resulting from herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
A preauricular full-thickness skin graft was utilized for reconstructive surgery.
The patient was a 65-year-old woman with a history of herpes zoster ophthalmicus and persistent cicatricial retraction before surgery.
Surgery was performed after the resolution of the active inflammatory phase under local anesthesia.
Eyelid closure was restored at 8 months, and no ocular surface exposure was noted.
Lagophthalmos and associated symptoms like dryness and burning sensation resolved post-surgery.
The cosmetic outcome maintained acceptable tissue contour and color match without complications.
