Canthoplasty

The eyes are the most expressive feature of the face, and their shape plays a vital role in our overall aesthetic harmony. Canthoplasty, often referred to as a "cat-eye" or "fox-eye" lift, is a precise surgical procedure designed to reshape and reinforce the outer corner of the eye (the lateral canthus).

Refining the Gaze

While a standard eyelid surgery focuses on removing skin, Canthoplasty is about structure and tilt. It is an ideal solution for those looking to achieve:

• An Uplifted Contour: Correcting "droopy" or downward-sloping outer corners to create a more youthful and alert appearance.
• Structural Support: Tightening the lower eyelid to resolve laxity or "scleral show" (where too much white is visible below the iris).
• Almond-Shaped Symmetry: Elongating the eye opening to create a more exotic, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing shape.

A Sophisticated Technique

This procedure involves carefully repositioning the tendon at the outer corner of the eye. By anchoring it to a higher position on the orbital bone, the surgeon can create a subtle yet transformative "lift." It is often performed alongside a blepharoplasty for comprehensive periorbital rejuvenation.
