T-Shaped Wedge Resection of the Upper Eyelid: An Alternative to the Pentagonal Wedge
The T-shaped wedge resection is an alternative to the traditional pentagonal wedge resection of the upper eyelid. This technique uses the natural upper eyelid crease to redistribute the relative excess skin above the defect, rather than extending the excision superior to the eyelid crease which can alter the contour of the crease and potentially create a vertical scar above the crease.
