1. Palpebral fissure length: the distance from the inner canthus to the outer canthus.

2. Palpebral fissure width: the distance between the upper and lower eyelid margins passing through the pupil.

3. Upper eyelid height: the distance from the upper eyelid edge passing through the pupil to the lower edge of the eyebrow.

4. Intercanthal distance: the distance between the two inner canthi on the horizontal line of the two pupils.

The surgeon in charge must have extremely high artistic accomplishment and taste in order to be able to unearth the unique personality and temperament of the patient.

Surgical method

Open the inner canthus

After epicanthus correction surgery, the palpebral fissure can be enlarged, making the eyes look bright and energetic. Many people who love beauty will choose this surgery to significantly improve the shape of the eyes. The methods that are more commonly used in clinical practice include: "VY" suture method, "Z" shaping method and four-flap method. The former is suitable for mild epicanthus, and the latter is suitable for all types of epicanthus. Regardless of the method, a certain amount of scar will be left at the incision 3-6 months after the operation. At present, the most commonly used surgical procedure by expert Pan Weifeng is the modified minimally invasive transverse incision method of epicanthus correction, which has good results and no obvious postoperative marks, making it a relatively ideal surgical procedure. At the same time, it can also integrate seven-point positioning double eyelids and minimally invasive fat removal to change the overall shape of the eyes and achieve a more perfect cosmetic effect.

Method 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.

Method 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.

Lateral canthalectomy

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. This is similar to epicanthus correction surgery, and is used when you want to lengthen the horizontal length and enlarge the eyes. It is also used when you want to perform blepharoplasty to enlarge the eyes at the same time when you do not have epicanthus and the distance between your 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.
