canthopexy (need high iq answers)

[valentine]

canthopexy is relatively non invasive and cheap, my lower eyelids are severely retracted to the point where it looks like a genetic disease. the surgery would fix that issue but my scleral triangles are already noticeably unequal and if i bring the lower eyelids up at the outer corners it makes the outer scleral triangle too small and it would looks like a severe case of strabismus. should i start walking around crosseyed or what

lower lid retraction probably a better option for you

same thing. its labeled as canthopexy here. i would totally get plasty if most results didnt look like they have down syndrome.

Canthopexy alone isn't a great idea. It’ll tighten laterally but make the scleral triangle asymmetry way more obvious,. You’d need something like full canthoplasty + spacer grafts to actually balance the lids.

^^ Also a good option

but most canthoplasty results look like shit. here they normally combine canthopexy with lower eyelid surgery. you also have to be very careful with any eye area surgery as its easy to get unnatural looking results. what even is the difference between pexy and eyelid retraction repair? they label it as the same thing here in nl

I believe with err they essentially lengthen your lower lid vertically by inserting a spacer graft to restore adequate lower lid height, canthopexy purely tightens the outer canthus which raises the lower lid as a biproduct, rather than err which focuses on the lower lid individually

mind you err is commonly done alongside a canthopexy

thanks for your answer.
i saw a really nice before and after from a local clinic here where i live from canthopexy, or atleast a procedure they labeled as canthopexy, they always keep it really vague here. most clinics also only offer lower eyelid surgery, which again, i have no idea what theyre referring to there. but from what i know they cut a long strip of skin off along the lower eyelid and sew it back to remove puffiness and eye bags but it literally retracts the lower eyelid even further. seems retarded
i wanted to get canthoplasty at first but its too easy for it to look uncanny on men

yes it's very annoying how surgeons are so vague on what they actually perform,

Ultimately you could trust your dodgy surgeon to do you well and not create uneven scleral triangles if you want to take that risk, I'd say it’s almost certain to be better than your current eye area even if they do tbh

I been hearing canthopexy tightens it but whats that acc mean

Does it only just make the outer scleral triangle smaller

whats spacer grafts address? Asymmetry?

 

[yeeyeeass69]

Does it look like one eye is below the other for u too or nah

basically if you put your finger on your outer lower eyelid and push it up a little (tighten) that's how a canthopexy will look, so yes it can make the outer scleral triangle smaller although usually insignificantly unless overtightened (botched) surgically, but that’s very rare since a surgeon has to be a legitimate retard to fuck up a canthopexy

whats spacer grafts address? Asymmetry?

basically just adds skin visually to the lower lid which makes it appear taller vertically, meaning less lower lid droop (horrible explanation but the effect is true) so can be for asymmetry or just severe lower lid droop, 95% will be ok with just canthopexy

a little, theres canthal tilt and hooding tilt asymmetry too, though thats relatively normal, my main issue is lower eyelid retraction

How much mm of scleral show do u think u have without squinting at all

I think we have the same issue

I rmr u said any surgeon who does canthoplasty also would do canthopexy but just not listed, what abt blepharoplasty? Is it good for anything? Removing fat seems counterintuitive since im not old and i alr have bad fat padding

Can canthopexy fix up to 5mm of scleral show or need direct lower lid repair

Also would any of these make me look like im perma squinting if i dont get fat grafts too

How much canthal tilt difference is deformed lvl and not just normal human

One eye looks 4+ degrees pretty consistently and the other is neutral almost negative

pretty sure I didn’t say that but I do agree lol

what abt blepharoplasty? Is it good for anything? Removing fat seems counterintuitive since im not old and i alr have bad fat padding

usually not, pexy or retraction repair

Can canthopexy fix up to 5mm of scleral show or need direct lower lid repair

usually not fully, more like 3mm, although you should ask your surgeon

Also would any of these make me look like im perma squinting if i dont get fat grafts too

nah they'd just make your eyes look not deformed lol, fat grafting especially periorbital mogs for the perma squint look

 

[valentine]

a lot. the outer corners of the lower eyelid are very droopy. i have to smile with my eyes really hard to them to look good

I rmr u said any surgeon who does canthoplasty also would do canthopexy but just not listed, what abt blepharoplasty? Is it good for anything? Removing fat seems counterintuitive since im not old and i alr have bad fat padding

dont get blepharoplasty it gives you prey eyes

How much canthal tilt difference is deformed lvl and not just normal human

im not sure
