The modified square flap technique effectively lengthens skin distance for plastic surgery. This method achieved good results in treating severe epicanthus in 14 out of 26 eyes.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Ophthalmic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Context:

  • The square-flap method is increasingly utilized in plastic surgery for its ability to effectively increase the distance between two skin points.
  • Severe epicanthus presents a significant reconstructive challenge, often requiring specialized surgical techniques.

Purpose:

  • To describe the operation design, advantages, and key surgical points of the modified square flap technique.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of the modified square flap in treating severe epicanthus.

Summary:

  • A modified square flap surgical technique was employed in 14 cases (26 eyes) of severe epicanthus since 1990.
  • The procedure focuses on effectively lengthening the distance between two points on the skin surface.
  • Good clinical outcomes were achieved in the treated cases.
