The purpose of our study was to describe a novel technique for reconstruction of orbital defects after maxillectomy using a non‐anatomic titanium mesh suspension of orbital contents for both support and volume correction. This construct is then articulated with a layered fibula osteocutaneous free flap that restores orbital rim, zygoma, and maxillary alveolus. We herein present our application of this technique, including refinements over time and long‐term outcomes.
