Epicanthoplasty
Epicanthoplasty is a rare eye surgery to modify the epicanthal folds. It can be a challenging procedure because the epicanthal folds overlay the lacrimal canaliculi.
Although an epicanthic fold can also be associated with a less prominent upper eyelid crease, the two features are distinct; a person may have both epicanthal folds and an upper eyelid crease, one and not the other, or neither. Single eyelids are reshaped using East [Asian blepharoplasty].
Epicanthoplasty may leave visible post-surgical scar lines. A common corrective technique involves using Z-plasty.
