Magic epicanthoplasty(Kwon’s method) is a unique method for correcting epicanthal folds of Asian eyelid, and is the surgery to be first founded by Dr. Kwon. Kwon’s method is based on the devolutional concept that restores original pericanthal structure for stable double eyelid formation without anatomical distortion. It can be accomplished by just rearranging the soft tissue without risk of severe complication or noticeable scar. Unlike conventional methods, Magic epicanthoplasty primarily releases the malpositioned soft tissues and fibrosis, then leads to the restoration of the medial canthus naturally without the removal of the skin or muscle.
Magic epicanthoplasty(Kwon’s method) is a universal method for various Asian
epicanthus, and is the basal surgery for double eyelidplasty for Asian.
The clinical significance of epicanthal fold is mainly related with double
eyelidplasty in Asians.
Epicanthal fold is worsened when performing double eyelidplasty without epicanthoplastyas double eyelid aggravates tension on epicanthal skin. And aesthetic results of double eyelidplasty without epicanthoplasty tend to be unnatural or unattractive.When performing out-fold type eyelidplasty without epicanthoplasty, prolonged swelling retention(so-called sausage phenomenon) occurs due to blockage of lymphatic flow by vertical tension and fading away of double eyelids are frequently noted.Unless the epicanthoplasty releases skin tension and remove potential inhibition factors of crease loss, the surgical crease will not look natural or not be able to last in any enduring fashion.
In the early days of epicanthoplasty surgery, numerous surgical methods were introduced to correct the redundant skin fold which were based on the concept of local flaps.
However, their disadvantages such as difficulty in design and resultant prominent scars had limited their use. Recently new epicanthoplasty methods have been introduced to correct Asian anatomical differences such as excessive skin, abnormal skin tension, a malpositioned orbicularis muscle, fibroadipose tissue, elongated medial canthal ligament, etc. However, none of them could be a treatment of choice as they lacked exact understanding regarding the malposition of upper orbicularis muscle and vertical skin tension in relation to the double eyelid. The surgical methods based on defective/inadequate understanding of the true nature of the epicanthus could not be sufficiently effectivefor Asian eyelidplasty.
Epicanthoplasty using devolutional method(Kwon's method) was developed on the basis of our understanding of epicanthal formation and causal relationship with double eyelid. Therefore, it is a completely new technique first made by Dr. Bongsik Kwon. This method is also called the magic epicanthoplasty. With good reports and reputations by people who have already undertaken this, it is becoming a term that is commonly used in Korea and in many other countries.
To perform magic epicanthoplasty, a surgeon needs plentiful experiences and extreme carefulness to acomplish optimal results. Teuim plastic surgical clinic have more than 5000 cases of magic epicanthoplasty alone or combined double eyelid surgeries.
