The Park Z-epicanthoplasty technique minimizes scarring in Asian eyelid surgery. This innovative approach is ideal for creating higher, outer-parallel double eyelid folds, addressing concerns with medial epicanthal folds.

Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic Surgery
  • Cosmetic Surgery
  • Asian Eyelid Surgery

Background:

  • Medial epicanthal folds are common concerns in Asian eyelid surgery.
  • Existing epicanthoplasty techniques often lead to undesirable scarring, deterring surgeons.
  • Patient dissatisfaction arises from visible scars and suboptimal aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the Park Z-epicanthoplasty technique.
  • To address the limitations of conventional medial epicanthoplasty procedures.
  • To provide a scar-minimizing solution for Asian eyelid cosmetic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • The Park Z-epicanthoplasty involves placing the incision within the eyelid skin, unlike traditional methods.
  • This technique is particularly suited for Type III and Type II epicanthal fold classifications.

  • Application focuses on patients desiring higher and outer-parallel double eyelid folds.

    • Main Results:

    • The Park Z-epicanthoplasty offers a novel approach to reduce visible scarring.
    • It demonstrates significant benefits for specific types of epicanthal folds (Type II and III).
    • The procedure effectively facilitates the creation of desired double eyelid fold aesthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • The Park Z-epicanthoplasty is a valuable advancement in medial epicanthoplasty.
    • It provides a superior aesthetic outcome by minimizing scar formation.
    • This technique is recommended for Asian eyelid surgery, particularly for achieving higher, parallel double folds.
