In a featured lecture at the 2010 Orbit and Oculofacial Subspecialty Day meeting in Chicago, Norman Shorr MD discussed his method for surgical treatment of lower eyelid retraction. The surgery represents a 20-year evolution of the management of post-blepharoplasty eyelid retraction. Subperiostial midface lift is combined with hard palate mucosal grafting and fat transfer to add support and volume.
