Overview

Lateral Canthoplasty is the best surgery if you want to improve the tail of the eyes and widen your eyes. The doctor will make small incisions on the outer corners of the eyes. After that, the surgeon uses small stitches to close the small open skin folds. This surgery will help you if you experience tails of the eyes that are located too low or too high, or if you feel like your eyes are too narrow.




Lateral Canthoplasty Checklist:


· Do your eyes look narrow? · Do you not like how the tails of your eyes look? · Do the tails of your eyes look droopy, making you look tired or sad? · Would you like clearer, bigger looking eyes?
