abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In order to explore a new method to perform the medial canthoplasty applied with upper eyelid fold formation in a single procedure.

The 67 cases were given the follow-ups. The appearances of upper eyelid fold and medial canthus were evaluated. The appearances of eyelid fold were paralleled type. The epicanthus was corrected completely or in major.
