What should I do if the outer canthus of my eye is severely droopy? Can the outer canthus of my eye be lifted?

The inner and outer canthus determine the size of our eyes. The larger the orbital bone, the wider the range of the eye can be opened. So if our outer canthus droops, can it be lifted? Let’s take a look today!

What to do if the outer corner of the eye droops severely

1. Invisible canthus lift surgery. It can delicately lift the drooping eye tails without leaving any traces. And because of the eye tail lifting effect, it can also tighten the loose lower eye bags. If combined with intraocular liposuction, the effect will be even more perfect.

2. Eyebrow cutting and canthus lifting surgery. This technique of enlarging the outer canthus of the eye causes less damage and quicker recovery. The disadvantage is that in some cases part of the eyebrow needs to be cut off, and the range and extent of eye canthus lifting are limited.

3. Zigzag line suspension canthus lift surgery. This type of canthus lift surgery causes little damage and quick recovery. The downside is that it can only last for a short time.

What eye shape is suitable for eye opening?

Opening the inner canthus can narrow the distance between the two eyes and improve the facial appearance; improve the shape of the starting point and inner side of the double eyelids; beautify the double eyelids; increase the horizontal span of the eyes to make the eyes appear longer; combined with double eyelids, it can also make the eyes bigger; and relieve the accumulation of eye secretions in the lacrimal caruncle.

1. Patients with epicanthus or deformity of adjacent parts

This type of eyes will appear listless and tired, and usually people with single eyelids or inner double eyelids have this shape. In fact, the effect of inner canthus surgery is best for this type of eyes.

2. People with wide eye distance

People with wide eye distance are also suitable for inner canthus surgery, which can not only shorten the distance between the eyes, but also cooperate with rhinoplasty to make the face more three-dimensional!

If the distance between the eyes is too wide, you can try double eyelid surgery + inner canthus opening.

Is canthoplasty surgery safe?

There are certain risks in canthal enlargement, which is to correct the short palpebral fissure caused by epicanthus. If the inner and outer canthus are pulled apart surgically, some complications may occur, such as adhesion, asymmetric eyelids, asymmetric palpebral fissures, scars, eyelashes, etc. Epicanthus surgery itself is a safe operation, but canthal enlargement surgery should be performed with caution.

Benefits of inner canthus opening

Opening the inner canthus can cleverly solve the impact of epicanthus on the eyes. There are many epicanthus in the human eye, which causes the inner eyelid to be partially blocked. By opening the inner canthus, the distance between the two eyes can be significantly shortened, making the eyes larger.
