Correction of upper eyelid retraction can be achieved by numerous techniques. We have developed a new flap, the orbital septal flap, to interpose between the recessed levator complex and the tarsus to correct the retracted upper eyelid of a young girl. The orbital septum is a facial structure; it is readily available and easy to dissect. The flap acts like a vascularited spacer without the problem of resorption; normal anatomical continuity of the levator mechanism can be functionally restored. We believe the orbital septal flap is a promising technique for correcting upper eyelid retraction; however, more case studies are needed.
