To report the outcome of early division of the tarsoconjunctival pedicle of a modified Hughes flap at 1 week after the primary operation. Noncomparative, interventional, prospective case series. Twenty- nine eyelids of 29 consecutive patients operated using the modified Hughes flap and full- thickness skin graft for lower eyelid reconstruction after Mohs micrographic surgery, over a 4- year period. In all patients, the pedicle of the Hughes flap was divided 1 week after the primary operation. Postoperative lower eyelid flap viability and lower eyelid contour complications. Twenty- nine eyelids of 29 patients (mean age: 69± 11 years) were operated using the modified Hughes flap. The mean follow- up period was 14± 6 months (range: 6- 23). There were no cases of lower eyelid retraction, flap ischemia, or necrosis after division. Postoperative complications included lower eyelid margin erythema in 2 patients (6.9% ), upper eyelid lash ptosis in 3 patients (10.3% ), and upper eyelid lateral retraction in 1 patient (3.4% ). Early division of the tarsoconjunctival pedicle of a modified Hughes flap at 1 week does not compromise the viability of the reconstructed lower eyelid and results in a good functional and cosmetic outcome.
