Hard palate graft
A type of tissue graft used in eyelid reconstructive surgery including lower eyelid retraction repair. It is harvested from the person’s own hard palate along the roof of the mouth. The graft is placed along the posterior portion of the eyelid so that it is not visible but serves as a spacer graft to help improve and elevate the position of the eyelid.
