Lateral Canthoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that widens the outer corner of the eye by a few millimeters through a small incision. This enhances the eye’s length and shape, making it appear larger, longer, and more defined. It also helps correct drooping or sagging at the eye’s outer edge and improves symmetry between the eyes, resulting in a more balanced and refreshed look.

Lateral Canthoplasty involves making a precise incision at the outer corner of the eye to release and reposition the lateral canthal tendon, which helps control the shape and position of the outer eyelid. Using fine surgical tools under local anesthesia, the doctor will carefully adjust the outer eye angle to widen and elongate the eye horizontally. The tissue is then secured in its new position with delicate sutures to maintain a natural contour. This method allows for subtle yet noticeable enhancement with minimal scarring and controlled healing.
