Correction of facial contour deformities resulting from loss of soft tissue or bone.
Two methods of recovering normal contour of the orbit are presented in which ocularists and ophthalmologists equally participate. One method is for correction of the deep supratarsal retraction following soft tissue atrophy; the other technique is indicated when there has been loss of or major displacement of bone of the orbital rim. Frequently, these two techniques must be used concomitantly in complex reconstructive cases.
