Where is the incision site for a canthoplasty?

Question

I've looked online but can't find any photos of canthoplasty incisions/scars. Can I ask exactly where their placement are and are they quite visible? I've always healed well, with light non raised scars, but would still like to have an idea of the incisions before I go ahead with a consultation.

Canthoplasty will be done at the corner of the eyes. lateral Canthoplasty has an incision length about 3 to 4 mm, which is virtually not visible with removeable sutures, in 90 percent of the cases it will heal by itself, but in rare cases you could use repair creams to get rid of the faded line or cover it with make up. that being said, the surgeon's skills in that matter is something that should not be overlooked. not everyone is a good candidate for Canthoplasty and not every surgeon is able to this procedure.
