Abstract

Autogenous kinetic lipodermal implantation in the orbit is an effective postenucleation procedure that gives optimal socket volume, motility, and cosmesis. The major complication of autogenous lipodermal implantation is graft atrophy. Other minor complications are infection, hair retention, conjunctival cysts, wound dehiscence, and suture granuloma.
