We described a new technique to correct late post-traumatic enophthalmos using volume augmentation with a tissue expander. A 47-year-old male requiring enucleation with an implant replacement following orbital fracture with the globe injury had been complaining of persistent enophthalmos and cosmetic defect. Computed tomography scan demonstrated significant enophthalmos resulting from a volume discrepancy between an orbita and the orbital contents. To prevent worsening of the prosthesis motility with correction of enophthalmos, projection of the prosthetic globe was postoperatively adjusted by gradual inflation of an expander placed behind the enucleation implant. As a result enophthalmos was appropriately corrected without any change of the prosthesis motility.

D015626 Tissue Expansion A procedure whereby the body is stimulated to generate extra soft tissue by the application of stretching forces that stimulate new growth of tissue which, over a period of time, results in a 2-dimensional expansion of the tissue. The procedure is used in reconstructive surgery for injuries caused by trauma, burns, or ablative surgery. Various types of TISSUE EXPANSION DEVICES have been developed that exert stretching forces.
