title: [Correction of severe depression deformities at lower eyelid].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the application of temporal fascia flaps in the correction of severe depression deformities at lower eyelids.
  
  
  METHODS
  Severe depression deformities at lower eyelid were corrected with temporal fascia flaps pedicled with superficial temporal artery in 9 cases.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All flaps survived with good appearance. All patients were followed up for 6-12 months with good long-term results. The donor sites had no obvious scalp scar.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Temporal fascia flap is an optimal choice for correction of the severe depression deformities at lower eyelid. It is easily performed with good result and less donor site morbidity.
