About this procedure

If you desire larger, more open-looking eyes, Lower Canthoplasty can help enhance the lower outer eye area by gently lowering and repositioning the outer corner of the eye. This procedure creates a softer, wider, and more youthful eye shape while improving overall eye balance and definition. Often combined with other eye surgeries, lower canthoplasty can make the eyes appear brighter, more expressive, and naturally attractive without looking overdone.
