It is a type of corrective eyelid surgery that can alter the entire eye shape permanently with lateral canthus correction. In this particular surgery, an outer corner where the lower lid meets the upper one is surgically tightened by our top cosmetic surgeons for elongating the eye. The procedure is an oculoplastic procedure available at The Esthetic Clinics in India that creates an almond-shaped or the famous cat-eye.

In addition to lateral canthopexy, Epicanthoplasty surgery is also a popular surgery. While the former one is for tightening the outer eye corner, Epicanthoplasty in our clinics is performed for enlarging the inner corner of the patient’s eye to open up eye appearance.

To give the eyes of the patient the perfect frame, a patient can consider the benefits of other treatments like fillers, etc. Fillers like Botox are neuromodulator, that disrupts the repetitive flexing of the fine muscles along the skin. Using fillers can ease tension in the brow, specifically, neuromodulators can release glabellar lines around the eyes to smooth out the upper facial features. The patient can choose to get two or more related treatments together to get more benefit in a shorter recovery time.

 

What To Expect During Canthopexy Recovery?

The patient’s vision might become compromised for the first week after the surgery before the sutures are removed.

Expect some swelling and bruising to last for up to two weeks. Patients won’t be able to wear contact lenses until fully recovered. The patient should avoid straining eyes or doing anything which might cause the eyes to become dry. The patient should refrain from including watching screens or reading smaller fonts and print. Our team at The Esthetic Clinics would make sure the patient is aware of what they should do or not do after the surgery.

 

Recovery & Aftercare

Since canthopexy surgery is a precise and focused surgery, the process is known for having shorter downtimes. Canthopexy has a shorter recovery time than other similar eye treatments. Patients are further encouraged to speed up the process by icing the treatment area and ease any discomfort. Our surgeon at The Esthetic Clinics may also write some pain management medication to help with the pain.
