CANTHOPLASTY (CANTHOPEXY)

WHAT IS CANTHOPLASTY (CANTHOPEXY)?

Canthoplasty (Canthopexy), also known as almond eye surgery, is an operation that removes sagging on and around the eyelids, making the eyes look more slanted and the gaze clearer.

WHAT ARE THE TECHNIQUES USED IN CANTHOPLASTY?

Almond eye surgery, which is a surgical procedure, is a procedure performed under local anesthesia. First, the area where the procedure will be performed is anesthetized. In the operation, the corner of the eye, called the outer canthus, is stretched upwards-outwards, suspended on the bone membrane, and fixed with a non-melting suture. Thus, the eye gets a more slanted and more prominent appearance. The operation does not require a hospital stay and you can return home after the operation. When it comes to almond eye aesthetics, special stitches are usually used. These special seams are self-melting. You can easily continue your daily life as no stitches are taken.

IN WHICH SITUATIONS CAN YOU HAVE CANTHOPLASTY?

Almond eye surgery is an aesthetic operation that can be applied to everyone, regardless of male or female.

If you have wrinkles on the eyelid and around it, if you want your eyes to look more slanted, you can have canthoplasty surgery.

RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER CANTHOPLASTY

You can return to your daily life and take a shower 2 days after the operation. Since the applied sutures can melt, they do not need to be removed. Mild redness, edema, and pain may occur after the surgery, which may vary from person to person. These problems disappear after 10 days
