Abstract
To present a complication of combined upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty and its surgical correction. Observational case report. A lateral canthal web that resulted from upper and lower blepharoplasty was treated using the del Campo tissue transposition technique, previously described for repair of epicanthal folds. The transposition flap corrected the lateral canthal web, improving the patient's symptoms and the appearance of the eyelids. A lateral canthal web may form as a consequence of vertical tissue insufficiency after blepharoplasty. A vertical lengthening procedure can correct the lateral canthal web.
