is there truly no surgery to lengthen medial canthus except osteotomies?

[jelqgoat]

seems like it should be an easy soft tissue surgery, if i pinch the soft tissue on the radix the medial canthus lengthens, so why tf is it impossible? My icd is 35mm and i really want to see if it can be reduced.

only osteotomies

only osteotomies

but why tho

 

[everyone]

need a blackpilled surgeon to create z-plasty for the medial canthus

only osteotomies

what osteotomies?

idk

obo i believe

obo i believe

obo changes the position of the whole orbit. i don't think it lengthens the medial canthus. i think tripod + medial bonegrafts maybe could lengthen it.

why would tripod be needed?

why would tripod be needed?

obo itself doesn't widen pfl. only tripod can do that. the medial canthus length and position is determined by the shape and width of the orbital cavitiy which only tripod can widen. obo it self just repositions the whole orbit.

so tripod would increase medial canthus length & pfl by moving the eyeballs and the lateral canthus outwards while not moving the medial canthus and therefore stretching the medial canthus?

theoretically yes. this is all new untested shit in the realm of cosmetic surgery so we don't know for sure what will happen. maybe some sort of small osteotomy on the medial side of the orbit where you move it more towards the midline could lengthen it too but you'd have to be careful not to distrupt the sinuses and naseolacrimal duct.
this stuff is all in it's infancy, it's like where cosmetic jaw surgery was in the 80-90s, and likely won't reach the formers level ever because of the high risk of the area compared to just the lower maxilla and mandible

even if i could get this it still wouldn't reduce my icd... maybe bone burring the medial canthus? isn't this similar to whats done during orbital decompression?

also i'm asian so maybe an epicanthal fold removal

yeah. good luck finding someone to perform this shit though.
