The graft of hard palate mucosa is a satisfactory substitute for posterior eyelid lamella (tarsus and conjunctiva) in eyelid reconstruction. The advantages of hard palate over other graft materials are: its mucosal surface, minimal contraction during healing, and easiness of harvesting. We present two palatal donor site complications and we discuss the probable pathophysiology of these complications.
