What is the reason for medial canthus variations

[Bryce]

I know it's mostly just a difference of the medial canthal tendons length and positioning but what's the point of it?

Most genetic features are a result of evolutionary adaptation, so are different medial canthus types a result of that or are they just a benign deformity like green eyes

Everyone in my family has a downturned medial canthus so I'm used to seeing it but whenever I get around other people I realize almost nobody has it

I tried looking this up but there was almost nothing I probably just didn't look hard enough

Idk it lets u see better ig?also so that tears flow smoother

 

[esoterik]

mixed with benign and how surrounding soft tissues/orbits are

 

[BigBallsLarry]

it's a byproduct of a broader range of facial feature variations, like orbital shape, nose and midface.

Its just genetic, there's no evolutionary advantage or disadvantage to having a downturned one, its a heritable genetic feature but majority of people have an upturned or flat one, you could compare the usefulness of it to the shape & size of someones philtrum, literally just aesthetics. not really a deformity, just a random feature

you already know what I'm gonna ask you....

Yeah, I think it's probably a depression of the lacrimal bone and how the soft tissue forms around it, or something of that sort

Alr bro

Quoting from Jordan Wood

"Downturned medial canthus: influenced by depressed inferomedial orbital rim and recessed frontal process of maxilla relative to posterior lacrimal crest, altering medial canthus tendon anchoring and downward rotation."

 

[NuclearGeo20]

Also they are not a deformity, they are a very aesthetic feature

not true because the feature itself is linked to good development.

I just threw that into the mix because I figured it was a useless feature of the face which deviated from the norm

Interesting

Tendon length, bone angles & tissue thickness are all genetic traits though, I can only imagine development coming into play if something around the midface area is recessed, but I've got recessed infras & still have a downturned medial canthus, I'd say my midface development isn't great but its still there. So I'd say it is primarily if not fully genetic

deformity doesn't mean its a bad thing, just means that something is different from the average/normality of said topic. It can be a deformity & be aesthetic, which is what @Bryce was hinting at i think.

you cant have good development without good genetics

deformity is a bad thing. Averageness is tenant of attractiveness, so a deformity by default is unattractive. Theres not one example of a deformity being attractive.

Having a down turned medial canthus isn't a common feature found in people, not the average at all, but its still attractive, deformities aren't a bad thing.

I do agree with your general point about averageness though, also based ninjago avi.

is it possible to have normal or decent midface development but still recessed infraorbitals or lack of fat there

 

[Orka]

its possible but usually maxillary recession is linked to ur infras being recessed

Downturned medial canthus is a sign of good bone structure. Just because it's not found in the public, doesn't mean it's not "average" or koinophilic. It's like hunter eyes, they are not generally found within the public but they are a sign of good genes.

Some races have it some dont, and they still have mogger medial canthus, so having it downturned doesnt matter as much as other features of the medial canthus.

Makes sense ppl here say atesh salih and sean o pry dont have great undereyes but midface is fine otherwise and just have everything else theory

what other features of medial canthus are there

length

length, sharpness, shape, body, color

medial canthoplasty reduces its length lul looksmin surgery

Who the hell would opt for that bruh my brothers medial canthus is longer than my dick and it genuinely looks so aesthetic

when tyrone has scleral show his eyes look brooding and intense but when i have scleral show i look retard

apparently its done on dogs too

 

[NuclearGeo20]

infraorbital+zygo implant, lower eyelid retraction and under eye fat graft will ascend.

If you need PFL increase maybe lateral orbital rim implant or tripods osteotomy

The Most Striking Feature - MAXIMUM Appeal

I've seen this feature a lot before and I thought initially it was to do with good Undereyes, but I don't think it's exactly that. It's called the Inferior Palpebral Sulcus "Anatomically, the inferior skin crease is seen around 3 to 5 mm below the outer aspect of the lid margin." I'm referring...

i just misclicked off a high iq thread talking abt how to increase pfl brah where did it go

 

[yeeyeeass69]

OH HEY ITS BACK

 

[NuclearGeo20]

i think Giant has a post on tripods osteomy to increase PFL

 

[Bryce]

i think Giant has a post on tripods osteomy to increase PFL

Which is semi ridiculous because how the fuck is expanding the orbits going to change the palpebral fissure? That also relies on your surrounding canthi muscles and globe positioning, does it also expand the soft tissues? I don't get it

 

[yeeyeeass69]

im prolly not even getting implants in this lifetime let alone osteotomy unfortunately

already taking a lot of low inhibness to get fat grafts

so canthopexy/canthoplasty does nothing for pfl right

I never thought about that actually, good point. I'll have to ask him.

Could be rarity and coupled with less uee, low set eyebrows and a prominent brow ridge it looks very striking
