Swinging Eyelid Procedure: An Useful Approach for Reduction of Zygomaticomalar Fracture

The swinging eyelid procedure is a versatile technique to approach orbital and periorbital surgical fields with less visible scar. Although mainly used in orbital surgeries, this procedure can also be used to expose the zy-gomatic arch and periorbital areas. The swinging eyelid procedure, therefore, enables appropriate reduction of zygomaticomalar fracture under direct visualization. We used this technique for a 27 years old man with a displaced zygomaticomalar fracture that pushed on the lateral rectus muscle. Good functional and cosmetic results were obtained postoperatively without ocular motility impairment
