OBJECTIVETo find a new method to perform medial canthoplasty and upper eyelid fold formation at one stage.
METHODSBased on the principle to release the skin tension and minimize incision scarring around the medial canthus, an operation was designed for medial canthoplasty together with upper eyelid fold formation. 136 patients with mild or moderate epicanthus underwent this procedure. Postoperative follow-up was as long as 34 months.
RESULTSBased on the follow-up of 67 cases, the appearances of the upper eyelid fold and medial canthus were evaluated. The upper eyelid fold was the parallel type. The epicanthus was corrected completely or mostly.
CONCLUSIONThis new method for medial canthoplasty together with upper eyelid fold formation is suitable to all the simple epicanthus except the reverse epicanthus. The operative results were effective and satisfactory.
