How Epicanthoplasty/Medial Canthoplasty is performed
This procedure typically involves individualized incision design under appropriate anesthesia, based on facial proportions and skin tension, with options such as Z/W/Y-V plasty. A common approach is to release the fibrous tissue associated with the epicanthal fold, reshape the inner canthus if necessary, and perform meticulous layered closure to reduce tension while protecting the lacrimal system and tarsal plate structure. Early postoperative care focuses on swelling, bleeding, and wound healing, with assessment of inner canthal exposure and symmetry. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
