In 1929 Limberg came up with a more geometric description but geometri c details showing optimal angles and length were provided by Davis in 1946. 1 Z - Plasty is one of the most versatile and widely used technique after number of modifications namely multiple serial, 2 four - flap, 3 ...
The flaps are pulled into their new position, with the angles from the center leg of the "Z" rotating to meet the angles of the upper and lower legs of the "Z." The flaps are then stitched into place in the new position, completing the alteration and resulting in a more pleasing fit...
Following Z plasty the amount of collagen decreased and fibers were oriented in bundles at right angles to each other, parallel to the surface. When tissue was examined by electron microscopy collagen fibers showed marked variations in diameter. Microfibrils were increased and there were aggregates...

The dimensions and the angles of this cartilage can be modified as much as the required helical rotation. After approximating the cartilage edges a notching deformity may be observed which can be improved using single or multiple z-plasties.D....
The statistical evaluation was carried out utilizing pairedt-tests, with aP-value of less than 0.05 denoting statistical significance.#Postsurgery, the lacrimal prominences were less exposed, and inner canthal angles naturally reshaped. Inconspicuous scarring with diminished reverse Z-plasty marks was...
