Would you recommend canthoplasty or just a blepharoplasty? (Photo)

September 29, 2023
Asked By:AJFA in Young, Arizona

I went to a Dr. about an upper and lower blephoplasty. She also, suggested she put a stitch in the outer corner of my eye and do a pinch. Then suggested she do a Canthoplasty to help tilt my eyes up which she said would change the shape of my eyes but give them some lift. She said it would take a year to loosen and if I didn't like it after that she could snip it and it would relax more. Would that procedure make my eyes smaller and not as round?

Hong Lim Choi, MD, PhD says:

I recommend addressing the lower lid placement as a priority. Additionally, consider the possibility of ptosis correction surgery for the levator muscle, but this decision should be made after a thorough consultation and evaluation with a plastic surgeon to assess its necessity.
