This case highlights the option of using graft from post auricular area giving adequate anatomical, functional and cosmetic outcomes.
16 year old girl presented to us with complaints of cicatricial ectropion with lagophthalmos of right upper eyelid . As the scar was extensive,the best option was to release the scar tissue and harvest full thickness skin graft from the post auricular area. this site was chosen for cosmetic reasons (hidden area). Per operatively, the size of scar tissue was measured and adequate size of full thickness graft was harvested and sutured with interrupted fashion.
The cicatricial ectropion and lagophthalmos (due to upward pulling of upper eyelid) was corrected.Adequate cosmetic results obtained with good functional and anatomical correction.
