Review of the lower blepharoplasty incision as a surgical approach to zygomatic-orbital fractures.

The use of a lower blepharoplasty incision as a surgical approach to zygomatico-orbital fractures is described. A series of 27 cases is presented. The incidence of transient and permanent post-surgical ectropion is discussed and correlated with the degree of post-traumatic oedema, age and sex of the patients, the form of dissection and the method of closure.
