Abstract
- PURPOSE
To evaluate the effectiveness and complication rate of our modified continuous buried suture technique for the correction of the upper lid epiblepharon. METHODS: This retrospective study included 132 eyes of 66 patients, who were diagnosed with upper lid epiblepharon from March 2000 through April 2002 After the followup of over 6 months, we evaluated the improvement and recurrent rate of epiblepharon after the procedure. RESULTS: In 131 of 132 eyes with the mean followup period of 12.9 months, the epiblepharon was corrected successfully with cosmetically satisfactory Results. In 1 eye, we experienced the disappearance of a double fold without the recurrence of the epiblepharon. CONCLUSIONS: This modified continuous buried suture Method appears to be an effective treatment of lash inversion in upper lid epiblepharon with good aesthetic Results.
