i dont see much difference between eye lid retraction surgery and canthoplasty or almond eye surgery tbh

eyelid retraction surgery

Young male, complained of inherited droopy lower eyelids with sclera show and sad looking eyes. He wanted more almond shape eyes. He underwent lower eyelid retraction surgery (without spacer graft) to create more almond eyes.

Before and 6 months after surgery results are shown.

almond eye surgery and cantho & LER are basically the same thing.

you’d see a big difference if it showed the whole face

almond eye surgery are a bunch of surgeries to fix ur eyes. it can be like cantho, ptosis, orbits decompression

yes and eyelid retraction surgery? its a differen thing

the lower guy had lower eyelid retraction surgery +canthoplasty + infraorbital rim implants on top of that while the guy on the top had eyelid retraction surgery alone. i wonder what difference canthoplasty makes here..seems like the biggest impact comes from eyelid retraction surgery? the results are very very similar..

oh youre right - i actually wanted to ask: can mewing give me almond eye surgery results? in which degree do i have to push my tongue against the roof of my mouth to get only canthoplasty results or eyelid retraction results alone?

I think the other guys who posted are right -- almond eye surgery is basically a suite of procedures (lateral canthoplasty, lower eyelid retraction correction, possibly orbital decompression and orbital rim implants) all performed during the same surgery appointment. The point of canthoplasty is to alter (usually elevate) the position of the lateral canthus.

yes but why is the outcome not much distinguishable to a simple retraction surgery?

I'm not sure, that's a good question. Maybe it depends on the particular patient and how dramatic of a result they wanted?

yes but im trying to understand what canthoplasty actually does?

how are the outcomes different to canthoplexy or eyelid retraction surgery etc

I think that lateral canthoplasty on its own is primarily just to get rid of NCT and create either neutral canthal tilt or PCT. It might be able to lift the lower eyelids a little bit, but for significant correction of lower eyelid retraction, surgery intended to specifically correct it is necessary

are they generaly safe procedures?

I think so. A lot of it probably depends on the specific surgeon

Isn’t eyelid retraction surgery just a canthoplasty?

Isn’t eyelid retraction surgery just a canthoplasty?

No, eyelid retraction surgery comprises lifting of the actual lower eyelid to a higher position (sometimes involving the use of a spacer graft), whereas canthoplasty involves moving the lateral canthi to new (usually higher) positions.

 

[middayshowers]

both really good results tbh, taban isn’t definitely a top tier surgeon

 

[Ascensionrequired]

How much is the price of lower eyelid retraction? Anyone knows of EU surgeons who do this?
