ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce a new method for correction of epicanthal folds, which could avoid obvious scar in medial canthus. Methods First, through upper and lower palpebral margin incisions, the connective and orbicularis oculi muscle dense fibers underlying epicanthal folds as well as the superficial head of medial canthal ligament were thoroughly released and excised. After repositioning the medial canthus, the redundant skin tissue was removed and then the incisions closed. Results 122 epicanthoplasties had been performed. Postsurgical scars were invisible in all cases. All patients were satisfied with operation results. No recurrence of epicanthal fold was observed. Conclusions The introduced method has advantages in avoiding scar formation and is an especially suitable approach for epicanthoplasty in Asian patients.
