Objectives: Reconstruction of the periocular region after burn injury is technically difficult. Restoring the functional status and ensuring preservation of vision is essential. Recreating the eyelid margin and eyelashes can prove to be challenging. Although there are several options for eyelash grafting there is no established gold standard, and there is little to no-literature related to procedures involving burn madarosis. 
Methods: Here we describe two cases of eyelash grafting utilizing a composite strip graft in severe facial burn injury with madarosis. 
Results: The presented results show the efficacy of this technique at restoring function and providing a good aesthetic result. 
Conclusions: Utilization of a composite strip graft to recreate the eyelid margin is a viable choice for reconstruction of burned upper eyelids in the appropriate patient. Further exploration regarding procedure timing and choice of donor site are warranted.

Italy is honored to hold the meeting of the European Burns Association for the second time, after Verona in 1995. Turin is easily reachable from everywhere in Europe, either travelling by car, train or choosing flight connections.
