What is Canthoplasty?
Canthoplasty or cat eye surgery is a type of surgery on eyelid to reconstruct or reshape the lateral canthus (outer corner of the eye). This can, in turn, help maintain the normal position and relationship between the eyelid and eyeball. The procedure can also come as a preparation step in lower lid blepharoplasty to prevent altering the shape of the eye.
Canthoplasty Step by Step
1. Consultation for Canthoplasty
In a pre-op consultation session, you will have the time to discuss the main issues with your surgeon. These may include asking your questions about the surgery, giving you some hints about recovery, and showing you the possible surgery results. In addition, there will be a full emanation of your medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Canthoplasty is typically performed using local anesthesia, although general anesthesia is also possible depending on the patient. The aim of the procedure is to shorten, reposition, or tighten the lower canthal tendon. Therefore, the surgery begins by making an incision at the outer corner of the eye to access this tendon. Making the incision within the eyelid’s natural crease can help minimize the scarring present after surgery. After that, the tendon is pulled into the new position in order to support the eyelid. Subsequently, the sutures are used to reattach the tendon. Depending on the used method and the treatment type, the procedure usually takes 1-2 hours.
