THE ULTIMATE EYE SHAPE MAXXING BIBLE: DIY MEDIAL + LATERAL CANTHUS CUTTING GUIDE (HARDMAXX EDITION)

[ahmaszein]

Alright guys, sit the fuck down. I'm about to drop the most comprehensive, no-bullshit, step-by-step guide to reshaping your entire eye area through medial and lateral canthus cutting. This isn't some "drink water and mew" bullshit this is actual hardmaxxing that changes your bone structure and soft tissue permanently. JFL at anyone who thinks you can get hunter eyes without going under the blade.


DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if you fuck this up and end up looking like a asymmetrical retard or blind. If you're a low T basement dweller who can't even handle a papercut, stop reading now and go back to your porn addiction. This is for high T ascended looksmaxers who actually want to change their face.
If you planning to do it yourself at home, I would say the medial Canthus cut is safe, and the Lateral Canthus is very very retarded and dangerous.

Spoiler: 1. What Even Is a Canthoplasty?

A canthoplasty is a permanent change in the shape of your eye. The surgeon cuts the corner of the eye, detaches the tendon, and moves it to a new position. The result is a more almond-shaped eye with a better canthal tilt.
Medial canthus = inner corner of the eye (near your nose)
Lateral canthus = outer corner of the eye (near your temple)
The visual changes are subtle, but because the canthus is repositioned, the eye looks less tired, more striking, and more alive. Canthal tilt is one of the most important features for male aesthetics - and you can change it permanently.

Spoiler: 2. Medial vs. Lateral - What's the Difference?

Medial Canthus (Inner Corner):

• Lowers the inner corner of the eye
• Creates a neutral or slightly negative canthal tilt
• Makes the eye appear longer horizontally
• Gives that "predatory" masculine gaze
• The tendon is snipped 50% and allowed to scar down

Lateral Canthus (Outer Corner):

Warning : I don't recommend Lateral Canthus because this is hard and complex than the medial canthus cut
This needs to be done by professionals.

• Lifts the outer corner of the eye
• Creates a positive canthal tilt ("fox eye")
• Makes the eye appear more almond-shaped
• Gives that "hunter eye" aesthetic
• The tendon is detached and repositioned upward

Which one do you need?

• If you have a drooping outer corner (negative tilt) → lateral lift
• If you have a heavy inner fold covering your tear duct → medial cut
• If you have both → do medial first, wait 8 weeks, then lateral

Why the Lateral Canthus (Outer Corner) Requires Sutures​

The lateral canthus is completely different anatomically:

1. It is the main anchor of the eyelid. The lateral canthal tendon holds the entire lower eyelid and the outer part of the upper eyelid in place. When you cut it, the eyelid loses its structural support.
2. High tension. Unlike the inner corner, the outer corner is under constant lateral (outward) pulling force from the eyelid muscles and skin. If you simply cut and tape it, the tension will pull the wound open, and the tape will not hold.
3. Consequences without stitching:
   • Ectropion (lower eyelid sags outward and droops) – your eye will look "sad" and constantly dry.
   • Round eye deformity – the sharp almond shape becomes a blunt, rounded corner.
   • Inability to close the eye (lagophthalmos) – leads to corneal ulcers and permanent vision damage.
   • Webbed scar (synechiae) – the skin heals in an ugly, irregular fold because it wasn't anchored properly.
4. The procedure itself: Lateral canthoplasty is not just a "cut." It is a cut + reposition + anchorprocedure. You must:
   • Free the upper crus of the tendon.
   • Pull it upward and outward by 2mm.
   • Suture it directly to the periosteum (bone membrane) at the new position.
   • Close the skin with a separate suture.

Without that deep periosteal suture, the tendon will simply retract backward to its original position (or worse, retract inward), leaving you with a droopy, round, non-functional eye.

The Comparison Table – Medial vs Lateral​

Feature	Medial Canthus (Inner)	Lateral Canthus (Outer)
Can it be done without sutures?	Yes – tape works	No – you must use a permanent suture (6-0 Prolene)
Is the tendon cut?	50% of the lower crus	100% of the upper crus (detached)
Does it need an anchor to bone?	No – it scars down into the soft tissue	Yes – it must be anchored to the orbital rim bone
What happens without stitching?	Heals fine, slight scar	Ectropion, round eye, inability to close eye
Risk of blindness	Low (if you avoid the lacrimal sac)	Moderate – if you hit the globe or lateral nerve
Result without stitching	2.5mm permanent drop	0mm lift + droopy eye – the procedure fails

Spoiler: 3. Tools & Materials

Essential:​

• Scalpel blade (#11 or #15) - Don't use a random kitchen knife like some retard. Buy actual surgical blades from Amazon or a medical supply store, cheap normal blades are least recommended
• Mirror - Obviously
• Sterile gauze or clean fabric
• Iodine swabs - For sterilizing the area
• Healing cream - I'll recommend brands later

Optional but recommended:

• Alcohol wipes - For cleaning, not sterilization
• Surgical gloves - Better safe than sorry
• Tweezers - For precision
• Small scissors - For trimming

Ok ok chill out, if your a poor MF like me, you can use this cheap blades

Spoiler: 4. Sterilization (DO NOT SKIP)

This is the most important part. If you mess this up, you WILL get an infection and fuck everything over.
Boil your tools in distilled water for a minimum of 20 minutes. This kills bacterial spores that rubbing alcohol can't touch.
DO NOT rely solely on rubbing alcohol - it's less effective against spores and biofilms.
Once boiled for 20 minutes:

1. Dry your tools with sterile gauze
2. Avoid touching them until you start
3. Wash your hands thoroughly (or wear gloves)
4. Wipe the outer area of your eye with iodine swabs
5. Wait for it to completely dry - you do NOT want these chemicals in your eye

Spoiler: 5. Step-by-Step - Medial Canthus

Target: Lower the inner corner by 2.5mm and move it 1.0mm toward the nose.​

Step 1: Marking

• Sit upright in bright light
• Mark your current medial canthus (where upper and lower lids meet)
• Mark your target position: 2.5mm down and 1.0mm toward the nose
• Draw a 4mm diagonal line from current to target

Step 2: The Cut

• Using the tip of the blade, make a tiny horizontal incision at your medial canthus
• The cut should be no longer than 2-3mm and no deeper than 1-2mm
• Keep it in the epidermis and shallow dermis layers
• AVOID THE ANGULAR VEIN (it's blue)

Step 3: The Snip

• You're looking for the white, glistening tendon
• Snip 50% of the lower crus of the tendon
• You'll feel a slight "give" - the inner corner will spring downward

Step 4: Immediate Aftermath

• Some mild bleeding or seeping is normal
• Apply sterile gauze or a clean cotton pad to clear the blood
• If it bleeds a lot, you probably cut too deep or hit something you shouldn't have

Spoiler: 6. Step-by-Step - Lateral Canthus

Warning : I don't recommend Lateral Canthus because this is hard and complex than the medial canthus cut​

This needs to be done by professionals.

Target: Lift the outer corner by 2.0mm and move it 1.0mm outward.
Step 1: Marking

• Mark your current lateral canthus (outer corner)
• Mark your target: 2.0mm up and 1.0mm outward
• Draw a 5mm horizontal line along the natural crow's foot crease

Step 2: The Cut

• Make a 5mm horizontal incision along the natural crease
• Cut through skin and orbicularis oculi muscle
• Stop when you see the white lateral palpebral tendon

Step 3: Tendon Release

• Identify the upper crus (attached to upper eyelid)
• Snip the upper crus completely at its insertion on the orbital rim
• The outer corner will drop slightly - this is normal

Step 4: The Suture Anchor (THIS IS CRITICAL)

• Pass a 6-0 Prolene suture through the freed tendon
• Anchor it to the periosteum at your marked target point
• Tie a firm knot - tight enough to hold, but not so tight you can't close your eye
• Test closure: gently close your eye

Step 5: Skin Closure

• Close the outer skin incision with a single suture (or steri-strip)
• Apply antibiotic cream

Spoiler: 7. Aftercare

First 3 days:​

• Ice packs for 10 minutes every 2 hours (every 2 hours is optional JFL)
• Keep the area dry
• No rubbing, no stretching

Days 4-7:

• Gently clean with sterile saline
• Apply antibiotic cream
• If using tape, you can remove it now

Weeks 1-2:

• Swelling subsides
• Redness fades
• No swimming, heavy sweating, or makeup on the incision

Weeks 3-6:

• Tendon heals into new position
• The scar starts to soften
• You'll see the final shape emerging

Weeks 6-8:

• Full healing
• Tendon is permanently fibrosed
• You can now assess the result

---

Spoiler: 8. Recutting & Timeline

When to recut: Wait 4-6 weeks before starting recutting. If you start too early, it could lead to broken tissue, a messy scar, and infection risk.​

Why recut? Recutting lets you refine the length, angle, or reopen a scar that healed too softly. Each cut helps train the skin to hold the extended canthal shape.
How many times? 2-4 recuts over several months is usually enough to train the skin to heal in an extended, more defined shape.
Timeline:

• Week 0: First cut
• Week 4-6: First recut (if needed)
• Week 8-10: Second recut (if needed)
• Week 12+: Final result

Medial & Lateral should be done SEPARATELY:

• Do medial first
• Wait 8 weeks
• Then do lateral

Doing both at the same time is retarded - swelling from one will distort the measurements for the other.

Spoiler: 9. Risks (Read This Before You Do Anything Stupid)

All this risks are Mostly in Lateral Canthus procedure​

Common risks:

• Infection - rare but serious
• Excessive bleeding
• Scarring
• Asymmetry of the eyes
• Dry eyes
• Difficulty closing the eyes fully

Less common but possible:

• Nerve damage
• Epiphora (excessive tearing)
• Ptosis (drooping eyelid)
• Canthal rounding
• Loss of folds

Signs something is wrong:

• Pus at the incision site
• Increasing redness
• Severe pain
• Vision changes
• Fever

If any of these happen, GO TO A FUCKING DOCTOR. Don't be a retard and try to fix it yourself.
Before you do this, ask yourself:

• Is the risk worth it?
• Can you afford to go to a surgeon if something goes wrong?
• Are you actually going to look better, or are you just coping?

Final Thoughts​

If you planning to DIY, I would say the medial Canthus cut is safe, and the Lateral Canthus is very very retarded. And Canthoplasty is one of the most effective procedures for changing your eye area. The results are permanent and can significantly improve your looks.
But let's be real: If you have a recessed maxilla or weak orbital bones, a canthoplasty alone won't save you. You need the underlying bone structure first.

• Vertically narrow, horizontally wide, rectangular-shaped orbital bones
• Forward and non-recessed maxilla
• Sharp and deep lateral canthus

In summary:

• If you're going to do this, do it right
• Don't be a retard and DIY the Lateral Canthus cut
• Sterilize everything
• Don't rush the healing
• Don't do both at the same time
• Accept the risks
• And for the love of God, if something goes wrong, see a doctor
