Abstract
One of the most challenging tasks to accomplish in reconstructive plastic surgery is reconstructing the eyelids. Following eyelid surgery, function and appeal must be restored. The surgical reconstructive plan depends on the severity of the defect is and the degree to which there is tissue around the eye. Eyesight and quality of life may be considerably compromised by periocular cancers. The lower lid (48%) and the medial canthus (27%) exhibit more periocular malignancies than the upper lid (25%), which is protected from UV rays by the eyebrow. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is responsible for 80–92.2% of periorbital cancers. Surgery is suggested for periocular, periorbital, and eyelid BCC. There are several different types of surgery that may be used to fix eyelids. Mustard cheek flaps are a great way to fix problems with the lower and outer eyelids.
