canthoplasty vs canthoplexy

[cristaking8]

if i wanted just to make my sclera show better i want it to look like the same as if i pushed up below my lower eyelid would lateral canthoplasty be best option or canthoplexy be a better option

would u be able to get plasty with medial canthus movement? or do they generally only target lateral canthus?

i dont know anything about it. i think theres medial canthoplasty but its uncommon, they mainly just reposition the lateral canthus

yeah im getting plasty done and yeah i know they target lat, was just wondering as its pretty interesting on how they can change your eye area

plasty and fat graft will do this, this is what im getting, pexy is also good but plasty is ideal as it gives the surgeon more freedom to structure the aesthetics although it is more invasive so if you dont want them cutting the area its better to get pexy

i cant tell you this without pics, from what youre describing it sound like fat graft is enough, but without pics its impossible to know

Only thing I've heard of on the medial canthus is a Z plasty/X-Y advancement to down turn the lacrimal pool slightly. Actually repositioning the canthus is a daunting task with how intricate the lacrimal draining system is and would likely scar HORRIBLY.

yeah, this was my thoughts on it aswell, i wonder if in the future we will get some better solutions for this as it could actually be that we could have full eye repositioning and optimizing on a consistent and good level. could be a game changer
