Orbicularis fixation in combination with medial epicanthoplasty can have dramatic results on an Asian Eyelid

Orbicularis Levator Fixation (Dr Young specializes in plastic surgery of the face and neck and Asian Facial Plastic Surgery) is a technique that I blogged on before.  It entails attaching the levator (the eye muscle that opens the eye by lifting the eyelid up) aponeurosis to the orbicularis muscle, which is the muscle that surrounds the eye encircles it and is the primary muscle that helps close the eye and eyelid.  With a medial epicanthoplasty, another procedure that I blogged about, you can open up the eyes by increasing the eye’s aperture in the horizontal dimension.  The medial epicanthal area is an area that is prone to scar and doing procedures in this area requires a lot of planning and research.  In my opinion, the Park Z epicanthoplasty is the best procedure for this area.  I show some results of these two combined procedures in the pictures below. The results show that the procedure has incredibly opened up her eyes in a vertical and horizontal dimension.  The results have markedly improved her aesthetics. Here is video on Asian Blepharoplasty and Medial epicanthoplasty.
