I have to ask before I make a decision. Several surgeons in Turkey offer endoscopic canthoplasty with temporal lifting. What is the difference between normal canthoplasty and endoscopic? Do you think it works?

Answer: "Endoscopic Canthoplasty" Having used endoscopy since before we used them for plastic surgical procedures and developed several endoscopic procedures, as well as worked with the eye for 40 years, I believe there is no way that anyone can do a legitimate canthoplasty that will resist the forces of the eyelid endoscopically. Perhaps a canthopexy is possible, but not a canthoplasty. Novel procedures are frequently done as a marketing gimmick, and are generally best avoided until proven.
