Hello, This is Dr Özge Ergün It's perfectly reasonable that you're seeking consultation about eye contour aesthetics. The eyes are the most striking features of the face and directly affect the expression of your gaze. The term "negative lower eyelid tilt" you mentioned refers to a condition where the outer corner of your lower eyelid (lateral canthus) is lower than the inner corner. This can give the eyes a tired, sad, or droopy appearance. As a plastic surgeon, we can evaluate both non-surgical and surgical options to correct this condition. Non-Surgical Options Unfortunately, there is no non-surgical method that can permanently convert a negative lower eyelid tilt (negative canthus tilt) to a positive or neutral one. The main cause of this condition is the anatomical structures around the eye, particularly the position of the connective tissues (canthus tendons). Injections such as fillers or Botox can be used to fill in hollows under the eyes or soften crow's feet lines, but they cannot change the structural slope of the eyelid. Such injections are intended only to alleviate peripheral problems and cannot permanently elevate the position of the outer corner of the lower eyelid. Surgical Options The only permanent and effective way to correct a negative lower eyelid slope is surgery. The surgical technique used to perform this procedure is called "lateral canthoplasty." What is Lateral Canthoplasty? Lateral canthoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to raise the position and shape of the outer corner of the lower eyelid (lateral canthus). It is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and can last from one to two hours. During the procedure, the surgeon cuts the connective tissue at the outer corner of the lower eyelid (lateral canthus tendon) and reattaches it to a point higher, closer to the bone. This permanently pulls the slope of the lower eyelid upward. Benefits of the Surgery: * Gives the eyes a more youthful, vibrant, and "awake" appearance. * Corrects the "droopy eye" or tired look. * Creates a more aesthetically desirable appearance known as "positive canthus tilt," where the outer corner of the lower eyelid is higher than the inner corner. Recovery Process: Mild swelling and bruising are normal after the procedure. These effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their normal lives within a week. Full recovery and final results may take several weeks to become apparent. Because surgical incisions are typically hidden within the lash line or natural creases of the eyelid, scars are minimal and fade over time.
