To evaluate the effectiveness and complication rate of our modified continuous buried suture technique for the correction of the upper lid epiblepharon.METHODS:
This retrospective study included 132 eyes of 66 patients, who were diagnosed with upper lid epiblepharon from March 2000 through April 2002 After the followup of over 6 months, we evaluated the improvement and recurrent rate of epiblepharon after the procedure.RESULTS:
In 131 of 132 eyes with the mean followup period of 12.9 months, the epiblepharon was corrected successfully with cosmetically satisfactory Results. In 1 eye, we experienced the disappearance of a double fold without the recurrence of the epiblepharon.CONCLUSIONS:
