PROCEDURE
A technique called canthopexy is usually performed on the external rim of the eye orbit.
Tearing consists of releasing the external ligament of the eyes, and resuturing it to anchor it in the desired position. It can be a few millimeters more horizontal (almond-shaped eye) or a few millimeters more horizontal (slanted eye).
A small incision is made in the outer corner of both eyes or, sometimes, in the sideburns, inside the scalp, depending on the desired shape. In both cases the scar is not visible because the skin of the eye heals very well and that of the scalp is hidden by the hair.
In many occasions it can be accompanied by an upper and lower blepharoplasty, eyebrow lift, etc. to harmonize the whole look, according to the patient’s request and the surgeon’s good judgment.
