How Lateral Canthoplasty + Eyelid Margin Tightening is performed
This surgery aims to strengthen canthal support and horizontal tightening, and canthal tendon reinforcement or strip tightening can be selected, and combined with entropion/ectropion correction as needed. A common practice is to locate and treat the canthal structure in layers under local anesthesia, adjust the eyelid margin tension and position, and fix it with sutures to maintain a natural appearance and globe contact as much as possible. Postoperative attention is paid to swelling, bleeding, and eyelid margin apposition, corneal friction is assessed, and medication and cleaning care are performed. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
