Hello, there’s a lot of misinformation about canthopexy and not enough accurate information about the endoscopic temporal lift. I’d like to clarify these procedures and explain the key differences.
Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure that can also be performed during lower eyelid reduction. Its main purpose is to reshape or reconstruct the lateral canthus to improve eyelid function and aesthetics.
Canthopexy
There is a lot of misunderstanding about canthopexy. Many surgeries are incorrectly referred to as canthopexy, even though they are completely unrelated procedures.
Endoscopic Temporal Lift
The endoscopic temporal lift is similar to canthopexy, but the main goal is not specifically to affect the canthal tilt as much as in canthopexy.
Honorable Mention – Endoscopic Temporal Lift
If it’s done properly, it probably gives more striking eyes than full infraorbital-malar implants do. I’m here with proof.
Honestly, I think this is one of the best surgeries for making someone go from “mtn” to “cl” But it depends on your face. If you have a slightly negative tilt, a very elastic face, and already have horizontal eyes with slight scleral show, this could be the perfect surgery to fix all of that.
Note:
For endoscopic lifts, I mostly use Turkish surgeons for exemple. Their price range is $2,000–$6,000 USD for an endoscopic temporal-midface lift.

Canthopexy
There is a lot of misunderstanding about canthopexy. Many surgeries are incorrectly referred to as canthopexy, even though they are completely unrelated procedures.
- True canthopexy is actually a technique where, through a small incision near the lateral side of the eye, the lower eyelid is supported or lifted without dissecting or detaching the lower eyelid tissues.
- It’s essentially a way to create a subtle canthal tilt or lift, focusing on the lateral canthal area only.
Endoscopic Temporal Lift
The endoscopic temporal lift is similar to canthopexy, but the main goal is not specifically to affect the canthal tilt as much as in canthopexy.
- While both procedures can create a lifting effect, canthopexy is more targeted at achieving a more positive (upward) canthal tilt.
- The endoscopic temporal lift lifts the temporal area, but does not impact the canthal tilt as strongly as canthopexy does.
