Canthopexy is a crucial procedure for lower eyelid surgery, often complementing or replacing blepharoplasty. It rejuvenates the eye

Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Facial aesthetic surgery

Background:

  • Lower eyelid aging involves loss of tone and contour, often mistaken for excess skin.
  • Current lower eyelid surgery frequently involves unnecessary skin resection due to poor lid posture.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for canthopexy as a primary component of lower eyelid aesthetic surgery.
  • To emphasize the importance of restoring lid tone and youthful contour.
  • To guide surgical approaches for lower eyelid rejuvenation.

Main Methods:

  • Canthopexy can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with fat manipulation.
  • Preferred fat removal techniques include transconjunctival or stab incisions when skin excess is absent.
  • Canthopexy approaches include lower eyelid, upper eyelid, or coronal incisions.

Main Results:

  • Canthopexy effectively restores eyelid tone and youthful contour.
  • It reduces or eliminates the need for skin resection in many cases.
  • Combined with malar complex enhancement, it addresses the primary aesthetic concerns of the lower lid.

Conclusions:

  • Canthopexy should be a routine consideration in lower eyelid blepharoplasty to prevent deformity.
  • Restoring lid atonicity and contour is paramount in lower eyelid surgery.
  • Skin resection should only be performed when true excess is present.
