Canthoplasty in Mexico

Canthoplasty is a cosmetic or reconstructive eyelid surgery that reshapes and lifts the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus). This procedure is often performed to create a more almond-shaped, lifted, and youthful eye appearance or to correct eyelid sagging (ectropion).

Types of Canthoplasty

  1. Cosmetic Canthoplasty – Performed to enhance the eye shape by lifting and elongating the outer corner.
  2. Reconstructive Canthoplasty – Used to correct eyelid laxity caused by aging, trauma, or medical conditions.

How Is Canthoplasty Performed?

  • A small incision is made at the outer corner of the eye.
  • The lateral canthal tendon is tightened, repositioned, or reattached to elevate and secure the eyelid.
  • Sutures are placed to maintain the new eye shape while healing.
  • The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours and is done under local or general anesthesia.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

✔ Individuals with downturned or sagging outer eyelids
✔ Those looking for a more defined and lifted eye shape
✔ Patients with eyelid laxity affecting vision or aesthetics
✔ People with realistic expectations about results

Recovery & Results

  • Swelling and bruising for about 1–2 weeks
  • Final results visible in 6–8 weeks
  • Minimal scarring, as incisions are hidden in natural eyelid creases
  • Long-lasting results, though natural aging may impact longevity
