How Medial Epicanthoplasty (Widening/Epicanthal Fold Correction) is performed
This surgery is used to improve epicanthus, and can be performed alone or in combination with double eyelid surgery. Usually under local anesthesia, incisions are designed according to individual morphology, superficial tissues are dissected layer by layer, and Z-plasty or V-Y advancement is performed when necessary to reconstruct the inner canthal curve and suture. Attention should be paid to protecting the lacrimal duct and hemostasis during the operation. Postoperative monitoring of swelling, bleeding, and scar changes is performed, with the goal of improving the openness and proportion of the inner canthus. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
