Paralysis of the orbicularis oculi muscle in patients with facial palsy can originate serious functional and esthetic problems. The implantation of a gold weight in the upper eyelid is one of the many surgical techniques that have been described for the correction of lagophthalmos in these patients. In this article we review the literature and present our experience with gold weight implantation for eyelid reanimation in patients with facial palsy. This procedure is technically simple to perform, produces good functional and cosmetic results, has a relatively low complication rate and is reversible should facial function return.
