PURPOSE: To describe a technique to correct lower eyelid malposition and lagophthalmos due to @entity2103 . METHODS: Chart review was performed and identified 13 @entity1 with @entity2103 , who presented with @entity893 and were treated with recession and extirpation of the lower eyelid retractors between September 2012 and March 2014 by 1 surgeon (HBL). RESULTS: A total of 12 eyelids in 11 @entity1 met inclusion criteria. Mean preoperative @entity34953 was 10 mm (range, 9.0-12.0 mm) and the mean postoperative @entity34953 was 7 mm (range, 5.0-9.0 mm). The @entity34953 improved an average of 3.0 mm in each @entity1 (range, 2.0-4.0 mm). @entity1 had an average of 6.9 mm (range, 4.0-10.0 mm) of lagophthalmos preoperatively, which improved to 2.1 mm (range, 0.0-4 mm). The amount of lagophthalmos improved an average of 4.8 mm in the @entity1 . There were no complications encountered in the @entity1 . All @entity1 had a subjective improvement in ocular comfort. CONCLUSIONS: The authors' surgical technique is effective in addressing lower eyelid malposition and @entity2194 in @entity8442 .
