ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the efficacy of the integrated and stepwise epicanthoplasty combined with blepharoplasty (ISEB) technique in an ethnic Asian population.METHOD:
The medical records of patients who underwent ISEB at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University over a period of 36 months were retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS:
A total of 104 patients (208 eyelids) were included in this study with ages ranging from 16 to 36 years old (mean 21.2 ± 2.8 years) and follow-up duration ranging from 6 months to 26 months (mean 9.7 ± 4.1 months). All patients achieved cosmetically desirable and natural appearances with adequate lacrimal caruncle exposure and horizontal lengthening of palpebral fissure. At the 6-month follow-up, there was no or minimal visible scarring in the medial canthal region. Postoperative evaluation at least 6 months following surgery showed that 98.1% (102/104) of patients felt that their surgical results were good or excellent. No recurrences of the epicanthal fold or disturbances of lacrimal function occurred throughout the follow-up period.CONCLUSION:
The ISEB is a novel surgical technique that is effective in dealing with vector forces during epicanthoplasty in combination with blepharoplasty and has been shown to be a practical and reliable method with good aesthetic outcomes.
