Restructuring the eye edge is a cosmetic treatment known as a canthoplasty. A canthoplasty is a reconstructive surgical surgery that raises the canthal angle to produce a larger and brighter-looking eye. It is performed to treat drooping or sagging of the outer corner of the eye.

Cat eye surgery is quite different treatment than blepharoplasty. By removing extra skin, muscle, and maybe fat from the lower or upper eyelid, a blepharoplasty helps the eye seem younger but does not change the size or shape of the eye.

Why to Undergo Canthoplasty?

Canthoplasty is a cosmetic surgery treatment intended to raise the eye’s outer corner (the lateral canthus), restructure the eye to a more cat eye form, and increase the size of the eye-opening. Ectropion, or lower eyelid drooping or laxity, results from the skin and tendons around our eyes losing elasticity as we age. This gives us a fatigued or depressed expression.

People who want to get rid of such an appearance may want to undergo Canthoplasty. Some individuals want canthoplasty surgery to elevate a downward slanting eyelid and lengthen the eye’s horizontal axis in order to obtain an almond-shaped eye.
