title: A simple procedure for aesthetic correction of the medial epicanthal fold.
abstract: The author presents a surgical procedure for aesthetic correction of the medial epicanthal fold. The procedure consists of an asymmetrical Z-plasty of the epicanthal fold where a flap is formed from the posterior surface of the epicanthal fold itself. This procedure does not require geometric planning and produces excellent anatomical and functional results, with inconspicuous scars.
