Trying to understand Canthal Tilt.

[socaldude12]

Is it not based on the corners of your eyes when you draw a straight line? I grabbed this pic from Dr. Taban's IG where he describes this patient as having had "negative canthal tilt." However, when I added the red lines, it appears to be the definition of "positive canthal tilt," no?

I do see the benefit of the lower eyelid retraction reducing the scleral show beneath the iris. Just confused about the "canthal" part and what I should be paying attention to.

don't get canthoplasty, get canthopexy, it lifts the lateral canthus. this is what you would want for pct.

That doesn't answer my question... I'm asking why the Dr. is diagnosing him with negative canthal tilt when it looks positive in the before and the after. Wondering if he just lied to charge for an additional procedure honestly.

He just meant droopy lower lid, which makes it look NCT

Doesn’t canthoplasty do the same thing?
