Question

What kind of surgery do I need to correct the webbing on the inner parts of my eyes. I was born with it

Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS · Answer

Please see following link for patient before/after like yours. You need scar revision (using z-plasty technique) with epicanthoplasty.

Raymond S. Douglas, MD, PhD · Answer

In this area webbing can occur after surgery etc. It is interesting you were born with it but there are two approaches -- one to camouflage or avoid stretching it to make it apparent and the other is the surgically correct.  Z platies can help and if the tissue around the area is soft it may be a good start.  Wen scarred they may even require a small graft placement which usually evens out over time.

Curtis Perry, MD · Answer

Usually the best procedure to improve scar contraction problems is a z-plasty transposition. Non-surgical treatments that may also resolve the problem include steroid injection, message and topical silicone.
