Due to the complexity of the anatomic structure, there are some complications such as insufficient correction, recurrence and obvious scar. To improve the inner canthus shape thoroughly, the epicanthus anatomy is explored. This paper has listed a brief overview of the anatomical research progress of epicanthus and surgical measures method, respectively, in the hope that this review would provide instructive reference for its surgical options.
