Canthoplasty surgery procedure

Canthoplasty is a relatively common surgical procedure in today's clinical medicine. It is a micro-plastic surgery method mainly used to change the shape of the eyes and make them look bigger and more lively. Since canthoplasty surgery has developed to a relatively mature stage and the safety of the surgery has become increasingly higher, many people choose this micro-plastic surgery method to make themselves more beautiful. Below, we will introduce the process of canthoplasty surgery in detail.

1. Single Z-shaped reshaping

Suitable for the crowd:

1. Mild epicanthus or cicatricial epicanthus.

2. Those who are mentally normal, have reasonable demands, and can correctly understand the skin scars that may be caused by surgery.

Operation method: routine facial disinfection and draping, local infiltration anesthesia, design a Z-shaped modified incision line according to the direction of the epicanthus, cut the skin to form two flaps, release the subcutaneous orbicularis oculi muscle bundle, and cross-suture the flap.

Note:

1. Take oral anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery.

2. The incision must not come into contact with water before stitches are removed to avoid infection.

3. Remove the stitches in four days.

2. Four-flap method to correct epicanthus

Suitable for the crowd:

1. Severe epicanthus or cicatricial epicanthus.

2. Those who are mentally normal, have reasonable demands, and can correctly understand the skin scars that may be caused by surgery.

Operation method: routine facial disinfection and draping, and local infiltration anesthesia. According to the design principles of Mo's surgery, the incision line was drawn to form four flaps, the subcutaneous orbicularis oculi muscle bundle was released, and the flaps were cross-sutured.

There is also a W-shaped epicanthoplasty method which is similar to the Z-shaped surgery. After the epicanthoplasty, remember not to drink alcohol and avoid irritating foods such as chili peppers and seafood.

After the epicanthus surgery, depending on the individual's physical condition, the fastest recovery may be around 10 days, while the slowest may be within a month.

3. Lateral canthus enlargement surgery

Canthoplasty is a surgery to make the outer corner of the eye longer horizontally by cutting open the outer corner of the eye when you want the eyes to appear larger. This is a surgery that involves cutting the outer mucosa of the eye, which can lengthen the eye without leaving scars. The same as epicanthus correction surgery, it is used when you want to lengthen the horizontal length to make the eyes bigger; when you want to perform double eyelid surgery to make the eyes bigger without epicanthus and the distance between the eyes is not far.

The surgical methods include simple suture and Fucks method of palpebral fissure shortening. Simple suture is suitable for patients with simple and mild enlarged palpebral fissures. The operation is simple, but it is prone to recurrence after surgery and is rarely used clinically. The Fucks method of palpebral fissure shortening is suitable for patients with enlarged palpebral fissures due to paralytic ectropion, and can also be used for patients with missing eyeballs. For patients whose eyelid skin is loose and cannot support an artificial eye, the Fucks method of palpebral fissure shortening is more commonly used in clinical practice and has better results.
