Could canthoplasty make my eyes less round? (photos)

Question

Would it be possible for my lower eyelid margin to be altered and made less round? If canthoplasty would not help is there another surgery which could improve my eye shape?

David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS · Answer

Hi there! Yes, canthoplasty can change the shape of your lower eyelid. As you may know, during this procedure, the canthus is cut including the tendon and the lid tightened against the globe. The resuturing can be done in such a way that the lid becomes more horizontal instead of rounded. One should be cautious because if not done well, it can lead to issues with lid competence. Seek a surgeon who's proficient with canthoplasty. Hope this helps!
