Summary There are many surgical treatments for lower lid ectropion, but very few are effective for lower eyelid retraction with ectropion because of the influence of gravity on the flap transferred to the cheek. In two cases, we have successfully treated lower lid ectropion by suspending the lower lid with the ear cartilage taken from the antihelix. We believe that ear cartilage taken from the antihelix is a suitable material to suspend the lower eyelid for correction of lower eyelid retraction with ectropion due to gravity acting on the flap.
