Abstract
Surgery is a discipline grounded in precision and exactitude. Surgeons must possess technical skill, anatomic knowledge, and an ability to improvise when intraoperative situations change or prove different than anticipated. There are however some operative procedures that have more narrow margins for error than others, where the difference of a millimeter in positioning or scar formation can dramatically affect outcome. Surgery of the lower eyelid falls into this category.
