Surgical management of periocular basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) presents unique challenges due to the anatomical complexity and functional significance of the eyelid. This video illustrates the nuanced approach required in periocular reconstructive surgery following skin cancer excision. When choosing the best repair method, surgeons should assess each patient’s unique factors, including skin elasticity, defect size, and eye protection needs. This careful approach to lower eyelid reconstruction can deliver good functional results while maintaining appearance and improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
