| | How to address the epicanthal fold in the Asian eyelid - Ophthalmology Times |
 | | The skin of the epicanthal fold is elevated with skin hooks, and the orbicularis muscle is dissected away from the overlying skin (Figure 2). | | | Figure 1: The epicanthal fold is marked on the skin surface and approached through the medial aspect of the eyelid crease incision. | | | In the past, epicanthal folds were thought to be due to excess skin, and early techniques involved excision of the fold. |

| | eMedicine - Facial Plastic Surgery in Asian Patients : Article by Carlo P Honrado, MD |
| | The epicanthal fold is widely believed to be a result of an underdevelopment of the nasal root and excess horizontal medial canthal skin. | | | Proponents of this theory believe emphasis should be placed on removal of soft tissue between the dermis and tarsus, as opposed to levator fixation, to allow for a successful double-eyelid surgery. | | | These studies also suggest that differences in thickness between the nasal and eyelid skin may contribute to the epicanthal fold. |

| | Not infrequently, females may apply cellophane tape to create a fold as part of the daily makeup ritual; the patient desires surgery to spare her this inconvenience. | | | The nasal area of the fold bears a variable relationship to the medial epicanthus. | | | The patient often makes his or her preference clear on this matter, which of course influences the size of the fold the surgeon needs to create in order to accomplish the desired result. |

| | Article : Asian Blepharoplasty |
| | A modified technique, combining excision of the skin, orbicularis, orbital septum, and preaponeurotic fat pad, and coupled with supratarsal fixation of the skin to the levator aponeurosis, is used by the author to achieve more predictable and long-lasting postoperative results. | | | The technique of performing lid crease enhancement in Asians should be tailored to the lid anatomy of the individual patient; this is the key to good results and a satisfied patient. | | | In certain patients, there may be rarefaction or Partial disinsertion of the levator aponeurosis, and this must be corrected accordingly. |

| | It is of further interest to note that a study of an ophthalmological nature concluded "that between the ages of 7 and 14 years, facial characteristics of children with Down syndrome do not change with age" [27]. | | | It does not seem likely, though, that this would affect nose bridge or epicanthal folds. | | | "Epicanthal folds are defined as a fold of skin covering all or part of the medial canthal region and conjunctival caruncle, the medial transitional zone between skin, and medial bulbar conjunctiva" [10]. |

| | Epicanthal fold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An epicanthal fold, epicanthic fold or epicanthus is a skin fold of the upper eyelid (from the nose to the inner side of the eyebrow) covering the inner corner (medial canthus) of the eye. | | | Individuals born with less pronounced eye ridge due to heredity or Down syndrome have excess skin under their eye ridges, thereby covering the crease on their eyelids. | | | The epicanthal fold occurs mostly in the Asian population but it is also very common amongst other races. |

| | On epicanthal folds and Asian blepharoplasty |
