Lateral Canthoplasty in Asian Patient to Lengthen and Open Eyes?

March 12, 2010
Asked By:mermaiddream in massachusetts

i am getting asian blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty soon, but i would also like to open up and lengthen the outer corners of my eyes with lateral canthoplasty because the length of my eyes horizontally is too short. i have been unable to find that much information on it, or pictures of patients that have gotten lateral canthoplasty. will it be beneficial to me? how is the procedure done? i want my eyes to be as big as possible so i am interested in any procedures that could achieve such result. thank you!
