Medial Epicanthoplasty With the Classic and Modified Skin Redraping Method: A Retrospective Case Control Study

In this study, clinical data of 193 patients who underwent medial epichanthoplasty by the modified skin redraping technique or the classic skin redraping technique were reviewed retrospectively. The patients underwent operation between May 2018 and June 2020 and were followed up for not less than 6 months. Interepicanthal distance, interpupillary distance, patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications were evaluated. In terms of interepicanthal distance/inter-pupillary distance ratio (P> 0.05) and satisfaction score (P = 0.759), the modified skin redraping technique and the classic skin redraping technique were similar. In the classic skin redraping group, there were 3 cases of visible scarring in the lower eyelid, corresponding to significantly more cases than in the modified skin redraping group (n = 0, P
