beauty eyes.
Endoscopic Canthopexy
The outer corner is the point that supports the shape of the eye. When it gives way, the eyes drop along with it, even when the eyelid is in good order.
What it is
The outer corner of the eye works like an anchor. It defines the tilt of the palpebral fissure and keeps the lower eyelid in contact with the eyeball. Over time, this support loosens and the shape of the eye opens downward.
Endoscopic canthopexy repositions this anchor through minimal access, without reconstructing the corner. The goal is to restore support to the shape that already exists, preserving the natural tilt of each face.
When it is usually indicated
-
Outer corner of the eye sitting lower than the inner corner.
-
Lower eyelid lacking support, with greater exposure of the sclera.
-
Eyes that have lost their original tilt.
-
Support for a lower blepharoplasty, when the support structure also needs attention.
The presence of one or more of these signs does not determine the indication. The full reading of the face takes place during the consultation, case by case.
How the procedure is carried out
-
Assessing support
The consultation measures the tilt of the palpebral fissure and the degree of laxity of the outer corner, comparing both sides.
-
Minimal access
The endoscopic approach works through small incisions, which reduces handling of the surrounding tissues.
-
Repositioning
The corner is secured at the height defined during planning, respecting the eye's original tilt.
-
Close follow-up
Follow-up visits keep to the agreed schedule, with special attention to the first few weeks.
Recovery
The reduced access tends to favor a more discreet recovery. Even so, swelling and tenderness in the first few days are part of the process. The follow-up schedule is defined case by case.
Every case is unique. No timeline replaces an in-person assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Canthopexy repositions the outer corner while preserving the existing structure. Canthoplasty involves reconstructing the corner and is indicated in specific situations, determined during assessment.
The aim is to support the shape that already exists, not to create a new one. Planning starts from the original tilt of each face.
It can. When the assessment identifies a lack of support associated with excess skin, the two stages are usually combined in the same procedure.
