Implication

The novel technique for reconstructing epicanthal folds improves aesthetic outcomes in patients with previous blepharoplasty, suggesting effective surgical interventions.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new surgical technique for correcting epicanthal fold overcorrection.
19 patients underwent bilateral epicanthal fold reconstruction using V-Y advancement and triangular flap technique.
Anatomic markings were used to guide the reconstruction process.
Preoperative and postoperative medial canthal angles were quantitatively analyzed using standardized imaging.
The medial canthal angle increased significantly from 55.94° to 58.63° at 1 month postoperatively.
The satisfaction rate at 6 months showed 58.3% of patients were very satisfied and 41.7% were satisfied.
The technique improved lacrimal caruncle coverage and refined the medial canthal contour.
