Canthopexy after canthoplasty?

Question

I had a canthoplasty as a stand alone procedure 3 years ago. I am planning on getting a lower bleph with no skin removal, just fat repositioning. I know a lot do a canthopexy at the same time to try prevent lower lid retraction. Could I still benefit from a canthopexy even though I have had a canthoplasty? Would it still lower my risk of lid retraction or would it not be of much use now?

Philip S. Schoenfeld, MD, FACS · Answer

The need for a canthopexy or canthoplasty can only be determined by your surgeon. If your surgeon is performing fat transposition only, and you have had a previous canthoplasty then your risk of lower eyelid retraction is extremely low. Obviously an in person examination to evaluate the tone of your lower eyelid would be necessary for a definitive answer to your question.
