The level of the outer canthus of the eye can be lifted slightly through a procedures known as a lateral canthopexy. This changes the position of the corner of the eye by moving it up higher in the lateral orbital rim.
Dearredial9891,Thankyou for your clinical post and photographs. Although difficult to tell from the photographs you have posted, ifthere in fact is a negative tilt to the outer aspect of the eye, or the lateralcanthus, this means the lateral canthus is lower than the horizontal Frankfortline compared to the inner aspect of the eye, or the medial canthus, thencanthal repositioning surgery is sometimes indicated. You are very young and so this would be moreof a hereditary lateral canthal malposition. Canthal repositioning through a lower lid incision and a small upper lidcomplementary incision can be performed. In addition, the tail of the brow can be slightly elevated through atransblepharoplasty approach, which also opens the eye. In your particular case, this is morestructural, hereditary reformatting surgery rather than aging surgery. As this is somewhat invasive, you certainlywould want to seriously consider the full impact of the benefits, risks andrecovery of such a procedure.Itrained in both plastic surgery and ENT-head/neck oncology and facialtrauma. Lateral canthal repositioningand lateral lid surgery is an important part of my practice and carefulconsultation and discussion of the risks and benefits would be warranted. There are many good plastic surgeons inToronto and you should seek the advice of ones with a lot of experience in thisarea. A couple of other very goodplastic surgeons in this area would be Dr. Oley Antonyshyn at SunnybrookHospital, Chief of Craniofacial Surgery and Dr. Derek Ford on Avenue Road, whoalso has specialized training in lid surgery.Formore information, please review the link below.I dohope this has been of some assistance and best of luck.Sincerely,R.Stephen Mulholland, M.D.CertifiedPlastic SurgeonYorkville,Toronto

You have two issues here. One is the ptosis of the left upper eyelid. It is possible that it was lower than the right side pre-op but the additional swelling from the lower lid surgery has made it fall. This will improve as the swelling improves. The left lower lid...
