Dx: Lagophthalmos of rt lower lid

Procedure: Pt was brought into operating room, standard prep. MAC sedation followed by local infiltration of laterl canthus with lidocaine/epinephrine and marcaine. A canthotomy followed by inferior cantholysis was done. A tarsal strip of approx. 4mm to 5mm was created. This tarsal strip was then fixated at the internal and superior aspect of the lateral orbital rim with #4-0 Prolene suture in mattress fasthion and Vicryl was used to close the deep orbicularis layer in an interrupted buried fashion. The skin closure was done using #6-0 silk suture.

Would this be 67917?
