Abstract

Cosmetic lateral canthoplasty has become popular among Asians in the last few decades, but few techniques have withstood the test of time to be accepted as both effective and noninvasive, with minimal complications. Novel techniques have been developed, but are not free from complications. Moreover, these methods often have limited indications and may require a rather long learning curve to master. Herein, the authors present their experiences performing a simple lateral canthoplasty procedure in 61 patients using a slightly modified V-Y advancement flap, previously known as the Uchida method.
