Objectives: The paper presents the reconstructive options of the lower eyelid region in patients who have benefited from the excision of basal cell carcinomas. Methods: The study was based on the clinical and evolutionary particularities analyzed in a series of cases, the patients benefiting from excision and reconstruction for the treatment of basal cell carcinomas located at the level of the orbital region. Results: Following the surgical treatment, the local evolution was favorable with a good functional recovery. The aesthetic results were strongly influenced by the stage of the neoplasm, the final aspect being satisfactory for the patients included in the study. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and rapid and effective surgical treatment are associated with favorable results from a functional and aesthetic point of view. Delayed surgery and treatment of relapses are associated with increased risks and inferior results.
