Second Stage Surgical Repair of Midfacial Bullet Injury
This young man had suffered a bullet injury to the right infraorbital region, had suffered from extensive injuries including a blow out fracture of the right orbit and had undergone extensive reconstruction in the first stage of surgical correction of his deformities.
He now presents for second stage surgery for correction of resorption of infraorbital fat, ectropion deformity and excessive scleral show of his right eye. Treatment planning was explained to him and he consented to surgery.
A subdermal fat graft was harvested and tunneled into the infraorbital region for reestablishment of symmetry. He then underwent superior repositioning of his lateral canthal ligament with correction of his ectropion and excessive scleral show.
He was very happy with the results of the surgery.
