It will likely require lower eyelid retraction surgery with canthoplasty and possibly upper eyelid ptosis surgery to have effective, safe, long lasting results. Canthoplasty by itself will not work. These are very specialized procedures. Seek an expert.
Great question and thank you for providing a great photo. I think you hit the nail on the head with your diagnosis. However, the treatment of choice is not always completely black and white. I believe you would likely require some sort of canthoplasty (addressing the lateral corner of the eyelids where they meet), but may also require additionally procedures like upper blepharoplasty and/or brow lift to improve symmetry and ensure best possible outcomes. Hope this helps and best of luck!Kyle Kimura, MD
An upper eyelid procedure along with the lateral tightening of the lower lids can possibly help improve your issues. It is best to consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon in person and discuss your goals and options after a physical examination.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey
As you have correctly noted you have a negative canthal tilt to your eyes and they are asymmetrical. The exact nature of the problem is difficult to determine without an examination. However, from your photo alone, you appear to have an orbital asymmetry with the orbit on the right side of the photo being displaced inferiorly. While a canthopexy would improve the downward tilt of each of the lower lids, it would not create greater symmetry. The most effective, permanent correction for a bony abnormality would be surgical repositioning of the orbits. More conservative treatments may be available to camouflage the problem. Consult an occuloplastic surgeon for a thorough evaluation.
The ptosis can be repaired and the lateral canthal angles reset. This will make the eyes more almond shaped. A detailed personal assessment is the next step when you are ready. Recognize that not all surgeons are the same. You need an aesthetically oriented eyelid surgeon.
To most accurately comment on your problem would require an examination. Based on your photos alone, you appear to have prolonged periorbital swelling and discoloration that typically resolves by three months postop. Conservative measures to address this may include massage, use of topical ...
Hi, I think you are too young for a blepharoplasty, I think the best answer for your problem is dermal fillers with or without pre-tarsal botox injections (if required) hope this helps warm regards Dr Prashant Murugkar
To give the eyebrows a nice lift, we use injectable fillers to improve the eyebrow, upper eye, forehead and temple. A filler is placed on the bone and in the fat pads of these areas to contour and lift without it looking overdone. We use cannulas to limit pain and swelling. I suggest getting a...
I have found that lasers can not improve malar bags / festoons long term. They may look better initially, but they always seem to come back rather quickly. Any non-surgical treatment is also highly unlikely to give you a great result and fillers can sometimes make these look worse since they can...
A canthoplasty or lid-tigthening procedure can be done under local anesthesia only however I do recommend at least having some sedation so that you are comfortable and less prone to moving during the procedure. Sedation does not mean you go fully to sleep or stop breathing as in general...
Hello! Nice to answer your clinical case. The asymmetry is visible, although not all living beings are 100% symmetrical, we can improve it to achieve more harmony between the eyelids. In this case, blepharoplasty should be performed with repair of the eyelid lift muscle, which, in the case of...
