What Is Mongolian Folds Formation?
Mongolian Folds Formation is a surgical procedure to recreate or restore the natural fold of skin (Mongolian fold) that extends from the upper eyelid to the inner corner of the eye. This fold is common in many Asians and is sometimes removed or reduced during epicanthoplasty. The formation surgery helps correct overdone or imbalanced results from previous procedures.
By reconstructing the Mongolian fold, the surgery can soften the expression of the eyes, improve symmetry, and restore a more natural and balanced appearance. It can also make the eyes look less close-set and help hide visible scarring or the lacrimal area. The result is a gentler, more harmonious look.
How It Works
Mongolian Folds Formation is performed by reshaping the inner corner of the eye using one of two surgical methods. In the VY method, a small V-shaped incision is made at the inner corner of the eye and then closed in a Y-shaped pattern. This technique allows the doctor to reposition the skin to form a new fold that conceals the inner eye area.
On the other hand, Reverse Z method involves a reversed form of Z-plasty. In this approach, the skin above the inner corner of the eye is cut and repositioned to recreate the Mongolian fold. This method creates a more dimensional fold using the patient’s own skin. The procedure is done under local anesthesia with eye drops and takes about 20 minutes. Fine sutures are used to ensure precision and minimal scarring.
