A method in creation of the superior palpebral fold in Asians using a continuous buried tarsal stitch (CBTS).
A simple stitch method in constructing the superior palpebral fold in Asian upper eyelids is described. Using a 7-O SurgiPro continuous stitch and securing six consecutive transcutaneous intratarsal fixations, the author was able to produce a consistent natural result with high success rates and no noticeable scar in over 500 cases over a 5-year period.
