Canthoplasty

Canthoplasty Surgery

Canthoplasty is an eyelid surgery procedure to correct the shape and position of the eyelids. This procedure is done to correct sagging, protrusion or deformity in the eyelids. Canthoplasty can also help prevent eye dryness, wrinkles around the eyes and other eye health problems by keeping the eyelids working properly.

How Canthoplasty Surgery Is Performed?

Canthoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. Our doctor makes a small cut on the eyelids, removes excess skin and fatty tissue and reshapes the remaining skin. This procedure improves the tightness and position of the eyelids, resulting in a more youthful and dynamic appearance.

Healing Process

The recovery process after canthoplasty is usually fast and patients are usually discharged on the same day. Our doctor removes the postoperative stitches about a week later and gives special care instructions to the patients.
