Lacrimal gland prolapse in upper blepharoplasty.

Conclusions: Reposition of a prolapsed lacrimal gland is a safe and effective adjunctive procedure in upper blepharoplasty, with minimal complications and acceptable postoperative outcome. Prolapsed lacrimal glands showed mild inflammation which could be due to repetitious movements of a lax gland, although various other etiologies can be involved.
