DOI: 10.37039/1982.8551.20250024
ABSTRACT
The aim of this case report was to evaluate the outcome and methodology of a novel technique for conjunctival pigmentation using modified micropuncture to enhance the appearance of an ocular graft from an eviscerated eye. This approach used modified micropuncture for conjunctival pigmentation and sclera in an ocular graft. Due to the lack of a cornea, multiple sessions were required to ensure proper pigment penetration. The procedure’s effectiveness was evaluated based on aesthetic results and patient satisfaction. The technique achieved a favorable aesthetic outcome and was cost-effective. Although additional sessions were necessary for adequate pigment absorption, the patient experienced high satisfaction without discomfort. Notable improvements were observed in social, professional, and self-esteem aspects. The patient indicated a strong likelihood of recommending the procedure. The modified micropuncture technique is a safe, efficient, and cost-effective method with a significant positive impact on the patient’s quality of life, enhancing both aesthetic outcomes and self-esteem.
