Lower eyelid retraction and ectropion following cosmetic lower eyelid blepharoplasty are challenging to manage for several reasons; they can be devastating to the patient and physician. Dr. Brock will discuss surgical concepts and techniques to avoid lower eyelid complications and how to best correct them when they occur. He will also provide pearls on the more intangible, but equally important aspects of treatment, to include communicating with the patient and referring physician, and managing expectations.
