How safe is canthoplasty, upper eyelid surgery and lower retraction at a young age?

it is essential to have the right ptosis procedure. There are two basic forms: anterior and posterior approach ptosis surgery.  The personal consultation is needed to determine what will be best for you. Yes the canthal angles can be adjusted and the findings of your personal consultation are needed to determine if you need additional procedures.

Need photos to better help you. Personal consultation is even better. See website for both eyelid ptosis surgery and almond eye surgery. Skype consult available.

Hi.  It sounds like you have thought about your eyelids.  There are many ways to adjust the canthus and lower eyelids. There are also several techniques for ptosis repair.  It's hard to say what you need without a consultation.  Photos would help to form an opinion. Be sure to see an eyelid specialist (oculoplastic surgeon). Best regards, Ira Vidor, M.D.

Thank you for your question.  All these procedures are extremely safe.  It is  our credo to only do safe surgery with virtually no complications and very successful results.  I happened to design the procedure for canthopexy and patients are extremely with the results.  Best of luck to you!

I'm sure you can appreciate that with no knowledge of your eye anatomy from either an exam or photos there is no way anyone here can give you a reliable answer. It's best to see a board certified surgeon with experience in these procedures for your answer. 

All of the procedures you have mentioned are safe and reliable with an expert oculoplastic surgeon. However, I don't believe many surgeons would give you a 10 year guarantee that you won't need revisions. There are short term and long term risks with anything in life, including eyelid surgery. Best wishes.
