Canthoplasty: Enhance the Shape and Youthfulness of Your Eyes
Overview
Canthoplasty, also known as eyelid reshaping surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to tighten and lift the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more youthful and almond-shaped appearance. This surgery can correct drooping or sagging eyelids, improve eye symmetry, and enhance overall facial aesthetics. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Lateral Canthoplasty: Focuses on tightening and lifting the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) to create a more defined and youthful eye shape. This is the most common type of canthoplasty.
- Medial Canthoplasty: Involves reshaping the inner corner of the eye (medial canthus) to address issues such as epicanthal folds. This procedure is less common and usually combined with other eyelid surgeries.
- Combined Canthoplasty: Both the lateral and medial canthus are reshaped for comprehensive eye rejuvenation and correction of asymmetry.
