Canthoplasty

There are 2 corners of the eye and they are called the medical and lateral canthus. When the lateral canthus is downward, it gives people a tired and sad look. This eye shape can be corrected by pulling the lateral canthus upwards and outwards. Thus, you can have more attractive and beautiful looks. This surgery can be performed alone or combined with upper or lower lid surgery.

Before Surgery

Detailed medical information about the person is obtained. Medications and additional diseases are questioned. The person's expectations and complaints about the eye area are listened to. Patient examination is performed. Appropriate drawings are made and necessary photographs are taken.

The Surgery 

The surgery can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia + sedation. The duration of surgery is 30 minutes - 1 hour. After the operation, appropriate bands are placed and dressing is applied. 

After Surgery 

Eating starts in the early postoperative period and the patient is mobilized after eating. The patient can be discharged on the same day. There may be mild swelling and bruises on the face. These complaints can be reduced by regular cold application in the early period. The bandages are removed on the 2-3rd day and the patient can take a bath. Stitches are removed on the 5th day. Swelling and bruises disappear within 7-10 days and makeup can be applied after this period. You can return to work on the 3rd-5th day after surgery.
