Tired of your eyes looking small and short? Want to achieve sharper and more defined eyes? Want your eyes to look more symmetrical and aligned? You can do so with lateral canthoplasty.

With lateral canthoplasty surgery, also known as outer eyelid surgery, harmony is achieved between both eyes by balancing the amount of conjunctiva (white part of the eyes) exposed. As such, combining with a medial epicanthoplasty, the lengthening of side-to-side length of the eyes, as well as the roundness of the eyes improves, making them look brighter and more doll-like.

Enhance your outer eyelids for rounder and more symmetrical eyes—the most expressive facial feature we have.

To find out how you can improve your eyes’ appearance, contact our clinic at 62358411 for a consultation today.


ENQUIRE

The surgery for lateral canthoplasty takes about 30 minutes and it is performed under local anaesthesia. As such, no pain is felt. Stiches are removed 5 days after the procedure, reducing disruption to a person’s normal lifestyle.

WHAT IS A LATERAL CANTHOPLASTY?

A lateral canthoplasty is a small surgical procedure performed by a cosmetic surgeon to lengthen the eye on the outer side. It is sometimes known as outer eyelid surgery. It is frequently performed together with a medial epicanthoplasty.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A LATERAL CANTHOPLASTY?

Lateral canthoplasty increases the side-to-side length of the eyes. More sclera (the white part of the eye) is exposed, making the eyes look larger.

HOW DO I TELL IF AN EPICANTHOPLASTY WILL BENEFIT ME?

Look at yourself in a mirror, pull the skin on the nose-side of your eye towards the nose by 2-5mm. This simulates the results of an epicanthoplasty.

WILL IT LEAVE VISIBLE SCARRING?

No, the scars are hidden and not conspicuous.

HOW LONG DOES THE SURGERY TAKE?

The eyelid surgery usually takes less than 60 minutes under local anaesthetic and light sedation.

WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?

Most of our patients return to work within a week.
