Abstract
There are several options available for upper eyelid reconstruction that depend on the extent of involvement of the anterior and posterior lamella. Knowledge of the anatomy will ensure that in addition to the creation of an aesthetically acceptable eyelid reconstruction, a functional upper lid will be restored. The purpose of this article is to outline the anatomy of the eyelid, to analyze the components of eyelid defects, and to provide options for lid reconstruction.
