Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Severe Lower Eyelid Scarring Traumatic violation of all three lamellae leads to severe scarring Post-traumatic full-thickness lower eyelid injury Post-surgical: Trans-conjunctival incision after partial thickness anterior scar Post-traumatic Lower Eyelid Scar
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Objective Evaluate staged operative approach for symptomatic improvement Post-surgical Lower Eyelid Scar
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Methods First Stage: • Palatal Graft Mid/Posterior lamellae • FTSG Anterior lamella Second Stage: • Fat grafting Spacer

Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Cadaveric Anatomic Dissection Cross-section / Reconstruction Showed consistent anatomy Tarsal plate=10-12 mm Palatal graft support but pliable PG orbital rim Cadaver specimens (n=20)
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction UCLA Clinical Review Lower eyelid reconstruction (1999-2008) (n=52) • Ectropion (eversion): 51% • Entropion (inversion): 30% • Full-thickness Scar: 19% or n=10 Underwent described staged technique
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Results Mechanism: • 75% Full-thickness injury • 25% After transconjunctival incision with partial injury MVA = 60% Assault = 40% Preoperative Postoperative
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Results Timing: • 9.1 months after injury (range=6-17 mths) Procedures: • 2.6 required Preoperative Postoperative
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Results Symptoms: • Preop: Epiphora (90%), tearing (100%), redness (100%), Blurring vision (80%), dryness (80%) • Postop: Epiphora (0%), tearing (0%), redness (0%), Blurring vision (10%), dryness (20%) Preoperative Postoperative
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Results Complications: (40%) • Redundant palatal graft (office excision) • Partial loss FTSG (healed secondarily) • Cellulitis after fat graft (resolved abx) Preoperative Postoperative
Trilamellar Lower Eyelid Reconstruction Conclusions • Our staged approach for reconstruction of scarred/displaced lower eyelid provided symptomatic improvement. • We suggest caution with transconjunctival approach following partial lower eyelid injury.
