Use of pubic fat as a graft for eyelid defects.

This article suggests that pubic fat be used as a graft for repair of eyelid defects such as when the eye is too hollow since donor sites for eyelid grafts are limited. Pubic fat is granular and has smaller lobules. Therefore, it was more likely to hold its shape when filling in a congenitally hollow lid. In our case report, a biopsy at 3.5 years shows the viability of this graft.
