Dr. Burroughs is an oculoplastic cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon. A part of his practice is to manage and repair surgical complications from other surgeons. This lady had been operated on by a well-respected facial plastic surgeon. Her surgery was complicated by excessive bleeding, and later by ectropion (out-turning of the left lower eyelid). This was not only unsightly to her, but bothered her in regards to a chronic redness, tearing, and discharge. She had some steroid injected into the lower eyelid by another oculoplastic surgeon without improvement, who had then recommended a skin graft. She was then referred to Dr. Burroughs as she wanted to avoid a skin graft repair if possible. Dr. Burroughs recommended she undergo a suture ectropion repair that he had published in 2003. Fortunately this was successful and she has been stable over 9 months out. She has been very grateful to have her eyelid repaired and feeling better and cosmetically looking better. Many such patients are some of Dr. Burroughs’ most grateful patients, and most professionally satisfying. Rotation Mattress Suture Ectropion Repair
