Hi all, I am a young male seeking your input on my eye region. I would like to correct the slope of my lower eyelid, which is currently negative, to one that is positive, or least neutral. If you know of any non-surgical means of doing this, please let me know. If not, what are my surgical options and what would they, roughly, be priced at? Thanks!
Answer: Lower eyelid You need an in person consultation to determine the cause of your lower lid retraction/lateral canthal malposition. Depending on the cause will determine the treatment. Typically, these are corrected surgically with a canthoplasty and potential lower lid spacing graft. Best to see an eyelid specialist in your area.

Answer: Temporal brow lift A temporal brow lift can include an orbicularis oculi muscle suspension that can correct a negative canthal tilt.

Answer: Correcting a Negative Canthal Tilt: Options and Considerations Thank you for your question. The photos provided are limited and focus on a very small portion of your face, which makes it difficult to offer a precise evaluation. A full set of images—including frontal and side views of the entire face—would allow for a more complete assessment of both function and aesthetics. That said, the procedure most often associated with correcting a negative canthal tilt (as you described) is canthopexy. This technique adjusts the position of the lateral canthus to achieve a more neutral or slightly upward angle. As per RealSelf community guidelines, we are not able to provide price estimates within medical responses. However, you can share your full-face photos directly with a clinic’s patient coordinator or surgical consultant, who can help guide you through the process and provide information about cost based on your individual needs. Wishing you clarity and ease as you continue your research, Warm regards,Op. Dr. Güray YeşiladalıBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Lower eyelid repositioning may require surgery. And based on your singular photo, I don't think this would be to your benefit, since small asymmetries may become visible, and you do not appear to have excessive scleral show.

Answer: Eyelid Slope It is hard to say with certainty without examining a patient (as well as seeing a less magnified photo) to determine what is going on - but, if there is laxity of the lower eyelid, then tightening that will not only support the lower eyelid and reduce the risk of dry eyes, but may improve the overall shape.

Answer: Your Best Advice: Your Natural Aesthetic is Fine Silent lucidity, Thank you for your picture. I understand what's aim for with your results. Having a canthal suspension could change that angle. This is formally called the Canthoplasty. This is a procedure is performed in conjunction with a lower eyelid lift to remove skin and fat. It is rarely ever done as a singular or primary procedure unless it is corrective nature. Meaning that, there is severe retraction of the lower eyelid, exposing a significant amount of the eyeball. I would not recommend having any suspension of your eyelid. This will only lead to potential problems and more surgery. Sometimes the best answer is that nothing should be done!
