Epicanthoplasty
Medial Epicanthoplasty 01
This 22-year-old Asian woman was unhappy with her eyelid creases and droopy eyelids. She had previous double eyelid and ptosis surgery in Los Angeles when she was 18 years old. In addition, she has dry eye symptoms because of lower eyelid retraction due to pediatric eyelid surgery when she was veryyoung. Dr. Amadi performed revision double eyelid surgery with ptosis repair, medial epicanthoplasty to horizontally widen her eyes, and lower lid retraction repair with hard palate graft to improve her lower eyelid position to help her close her eyes better and decrease the dry eye symptoms. The patient was incredibly pleased with her natural appearing creases, more open and tapered eyes. Her dry eye symptoms had also improved.
