My eye shape has always been small and round with the outer corner sitting slightly higher than the inner corner. Would a lateral canthoplasty help to achieve a more almond shape?

Answer: Cantoplasty The question you pose is an interesting one. It is normal for the lateral canthus to be elevated slightly higher than the medial canthus. I would generally not recommend a canthoplasty unless absolutely necessary. You may benefit from a conservative upper blepharoplasty. However, based upon the pictures provided, I would not recommend canthoplasty surgery.

Answer: Re: Lateral Canthoplasty It would be helpful to see a full face picture, but it looks like your upper eyelids have some excess skin. Removing a small amount of skin from the upper eyelids might significantly improve the appearance of the eyes. Sometimes brow lifting alone or in conjunction with a conservative blepharoplasty will bring you the desired correction. Brow lifting can be accomplished with a little Botox, or sometimes filler. A trained oculofacial surgeon would be able to determine the appropriate procedure for you.
