Would a Canthoplasty or an Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery Benefit my Eyes? (photo)

What a canthoplasty achieves is proper positioning of the outside corner of your eyes, otherwise known as the lateral canthas. A lateral endoscopic brow lift is another potential consideration to help support the soft tissue and the lateral aspect of your eyes. A conservative upper blepharoplasty will also effectively eliminate the "weighed down" look you're noticing around your eyes.

You should consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for a full assessment of your options. To get a sense of  the permanent improvement a brow lift can give, you may want to try an injectable Botox treatment as a temporary solution to relieve the heaviness you feel around your eyes.

Certainly combining any or all of these procedures, as appropriate, is commonly done. This also makes the most sense, since you will receive the results you are looking for with a much shorter recovery time.

Conservative upper blepharoplasty can help achieve your goal but NOT canthoplasty.  Again, do NOT do canthoplasty.  See an oculoplastic surgeon.

          Canthoplasty will not help to achieve your goal.   A conservative skin only upper blepharoplasty can get you closer to your goal.   Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of eyelid surgeries each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

From your photo, it appears that the primary problem is heavy and low-riding brow tissue.  While difficult to evaluate without seeing you personally, it may be that a browplasty would do more to correct your concerns than eyelid surgery.

Thank you for your photographs. Your upper lid has some excess skin that may require surgery to improve the contour.  I would not recommend any surgery for your lower eyelids.

Canthoplasty or upper lid blepharoplasty or brow lift? The photograph that you show as a result would be achieved with a slight brow lift done at your hairline. This will raise your brows, eliminate the excess skin that you have your upper eyelids in one operation. This can be done under local anesthesia. Choose a very experienced surgeon to do this.

Looking at those photos I think an upper lid bleph would be fine.I really do not think you really need a lower lid bleph/canthoplasty.

It appears as if an upper lid bleph will help you. forget the canthopexy.
 

You look young to me, and the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery is a highly personal one.  Obviously nobody ever died from droopy lids, so it is an elective procedure.

My 2 cents- if you are inclined to achieve a look like pic #2, you would do better to look into a brow (endo) with possible canthopexy if needed.  Prices may vary.

You have  a very narrow distance between  your eyebrow and the upper eyelid.  You would certainly benefit from an upper eyelid blepharoplasty along with an internal brow pexy.  This would give you a 3 or 4 mm elevation of the lateral brow and open up the orbital region.
