Orbital prosthesis following temporal muscle or forehead flap reconstruction: use of optics and illusions.
Temporalis myocutaneous flap reconstruction of orbital defects may cause difficulty with fabrication of esthetic orbital prostheses because of limited space. Two patient treatments are presented to show the wide variation in defect size that may be encountered after surgical reconstruction. Methods for using optics and illusions to enhance the esthetic result are also presented.
