Clinical observation of improved five flap method for correcting epicanthus based on histological differences and natural aesthetic needs
Objective To observe the clinical effect of using the improved five flap method for correcting epicanthus.Method 53 patients with epicanthus were corrected using the improved five flap method.The preoperative design was based on the patient's needs and the type and degree of epicanthus.During the surgery,the muscle and fiber tissue tension in the epicanthus area was relieved according to histological differences,and the treatment effect was observed and followed up.Result All 53 patients healed in one stage 7 days after surgery,and 49 cases were followed up.Among them,14 cases had inward folding double eyelids,29 cases had intermediate folding double eyelids,and 6 cases had outward folding double eyelids.The surgical results met the preoperative requirements,and the inner canthus angle had a natural shape with no obvious scars.One case had bilateral asymmetry due to insufficient unilateral correction,with a total satisfaction rate of 98%.Conclusion The improved five flap method for correcting epicanthus is an effective method for treating epicanthus,with a simple and flexible design,no visible postoperative scars,natural and beautiful inner canthus shape,and a surgical effect that conforms to people's aesthetic concepts and racial identity.
