Canthoplasty

What is Canthoplasty surgery?

The appearance of our eyes says a lot about us. We are naturally wired to make judgments about each other based just on the size and shape of our eyes. Many ladies desire bigger and brighter eyes that will make a good impression. Double eyelidplasty, epicanthoplasty, and lateral canthoplasty are surgical procedures that make the eye bigger and brighter.

Double eyelidplasty affects the vertical dimension of the eyes, whereas epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty affect the horizontal dimension. Epicanthoplasty is a surgical treatment that enlarges the eye horizontally at the inner corner, whereas lateral canthoplasty enlarges the eye at the outside border.

Adjusting the slant of the palpebral fissure by lateral canthoplasty can accomplish an enlargement of eye width and smoother features, especially if the slant of the palpebral fissure is elevated and the horizontal dimension of the palpebral fissure is short.
