Lower Eyelid Retraction Surgery
Lower eyelid retraction refers to a condition where the lower eyelid is positioned too high, causing the eye to appear abnormally open or "bug-eyed." This can result in discomfort, dryness, and irritation of the eye. There are various surgical procedures that can be performed to correct lower eyelid retraction.
One common procedure is called a lateral canthoplasty or canthopexy. This involves tightening the lateral canthal tendon, which is the tissue that holds the outer corner of the eyelid in place. By tightening this tissue, the eyelid is repositioned and lifted to a more normal position.
Another option is a midface lift or midface suspension. This involves lifting and repositioning the tissues in the midface area, which can help to support the lower eyelid and prevent it from drooping.
Your surgeon will determine the best procedure for you based on the severity of your lower eyelid retraction and other factors such as your age and overall health. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to perform any eyelid surgery to ensure the best possible outcome
