Question

lateral canthopexy/cantoplasthy? is safe?

Joseph L. Kiener, MD, FACS · Answer

Lateral canthopexy is usually performed for lower eyelid laxity or as an additional procedure when doing a lower eyelid cometic procedure.  It is possible to change to your canthal slant, but it is difficult to achieve perfect symmetry.  It is wise to seek out an experienced oculoplastic surgeon. Regards.

Adam Scheiner, MD · Answer

Dear Roshan,Yes. A canthopexy is a safe procedure. Its usually used for individuals with turned out lower lids but occasionally it can be done for cosmetic reasons. See an Oculoplastic Specialist in your area for a consulttation.I hope this was helpful.

Jeffrey M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Changing the shape of the eyes can be done in multiple ways. Both surgical and nonsurgical techniques can be used. In office procedures like botox and fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella, Vollure) can be used for subtle non-surgical changes. Surgery such as lateral canthoplasty can be used to make the eyes more defined, almond shaped or slanted. Its important to seek out an experienced oculoplastic specialist to discuss your options.

Hello roshan23,
Yes...the procedure to slant your eyes (canthoplasty, cahthopexy etc) is a realitively simple one. The healing is quick and results fantastic. However the desired expectation needs to be discussed in detail to avoid any confusion. My suggestion is to seek out an Oculoplastic surgeon for best results.
Cheers
