Abstract
Reconstructing the eyelash margin is a challenge for plastic surgeons because eyelashes have specific characteristics. There is still no gold standard procedure for this type of reconstruction, which seeks to protect the eyeball and make the eyelid appear natural. The eyebrow composite graft can be a good option for reconstructing the eyelash margin because it is technically simple and safe, and takes advantage of the structural similarity between the eyelashes and eyebrow. The results presented showed the effectiveness of the technique by providing improved occlusion and a good aesthetic result.
