5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Eyelid reconstruction requires balancing structural restoration, functional preservation, and aesthetic harmony for successful outcomes.
-
2
Local flaps are preferred for small- to medium-sized defects due to their blood supply and skin type compatibility.
-
3
Cryopreserved ultra-thick umbilical cord amniotic membrane (UC-AM) offers structural and biological benefits for complex eyelid defects.
-
4
UC-AM promotes healing by reducing inflammation and supporting epithelial ingrowth, outperforming traditional grafts in challenging cases.
-
5
Combining local flaps with UC-AM enhances reconstruction results while respecting aesthetic units and ensuring adequate blood supply.
