Correction of Ptosis and of Epicanthus

Blepharophimosis–ptosis–epicanthus inversus syndrome: objective analysis of surgical outcome in patients from a single unit

“…Most are either Y to V flaps or combinations of flaps and include procedures described by Mustardé 24 (Fig. 2a– the most widely used technique), Anderson (five flap technique) 16,17 Blair 27 and Johnson’s modification 14 of Blair’s technique. One stage procedures (simultaneous repair of epicanthic folds, telecanthus and ptosis) have been advocated by Nakajima 28 and Karacaoğlan 29 .…”

Epicanthal Fold Correction with VM-Plasty

“…Many methods have been devised for correcting the medial epicanthal fold seen in epicanthus, telecanthus, blepharophimosis, and after trauma. 1,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Skin resection in double eyelid surgery will make this condition worse in Asian patients. Better esthetic results can be obtained in double eyelid surgery if the epicanthal fold is corrected.…”

New Technique for Medial Canthoplasty That Incorporates Modified V-W Epicanthoplasty

“…Various epicanthoplasty designs exist,1-5 and we believe that a split V-W plasty represented by the Uchida method is a simple and excellent design that produces inconspicuous scars2,3; however, the disadvantage of this method is that it is difficult to reconstruct the orbitonasal angle. To mitigate this disadvantage, Park4 used the tetrahedral effect of “Z-plasty,” and we agree that the key element to create the pretarsal crease in the medial canthal area is to anchor the flap deeply.…”
