Recovery Guide
What to expect during Lateral Canthoplasty recovery
Lateral Canthoplasty is a customized eye reshaping procedure designed to open the hidden corners of the eyes for a wider, clearer, and more defined look. Using precise surgical design based on each individual's eye shape and anatomical structure, the inner or outer eye corners are delicately released and repositioned. The procedure improves eye openness, corrects narrow or tired-looking eyes, and enhances balance between the inner and outer canthal distance. It results in a more refreshed, symmetrical, and naturally defined eye shape—both when open and closed.
