영문 초록

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of modified simple excision for epicanthal folds. Methods: Eight patients with the epicanthal folds were treated using a modified simple excision method from June to December 2005. After medial traction of the epicanthal fold to expose the medial canthus, parabola-shaped marking was done near mucocutaneous junction. Under local anesthesia, incision of skin, dissection of subcutaneous tissue and excision of subcutaneous fibrous tissue and orbicularis oculi muscle were done. After marking the medial canthus on the skin, a wedge-shaped excision of the extra skin was done. Fixation sutures to the medial canthal tendon and skin sutures were then performed. Results: Eight participants were evaluated (four males and four females) with a mean age of 16.71±8.34 years. The mean follow-up period was 42.86±5.80 days. After the operation, the skin scar was not visible due to its deep position, and no complication, such as damage to the lacrimal canaliculus or sac, was observed. Conclusions: Modified simple excision for epicanthal folds is an effective method that does not leave a visible scar.
