A Novel Surgical Technique Involving Bone Fixation Canthoplasty, Middle Lamellar Recession and Mucograft Spacer in Treating Patients with Euryblepharon
The success in normalizing the lower lid position and contour without skin augmentation suggests that the underlying pathology is related to middle lamellar retraction and lateral canthal dystopia rather than skin deficiency. This new technique corrects both the functional and aesthetic issues without compromising on either element which has been the case in previous studies. It is also tissue-sparing and can be done as a day-case procedure.
