title: [Correction of severe epicanthus using the square-flap method].
abstract: The square-flap method has been adopted gradually in plastic surgery because of lengthening effectively the distance between two points on the skin surface. Good results have been obtained in the treatment of severe epicanthus in 14 cases of 26 eyes by using modified square flap since 1990. This paper describes the operation design, advantages and key points of the surgery.
