Can Eye Corners Reconnect after Lateral Canthoplasty?

Lateral canthoplasty is a surgical option suitable for individuals with small or closely set eyes. 

Some patients express concern regarding the potential reconnection of tissues at the eye corners after the procedure. Is there a risk of re-adhesion following lateral canthoplasty? 

Indeed, there is. Nevertheless, there's no need fto worry about that, as surgeons always take into account the possibility of eye corners reconnecting during the procedure.

Additionally, in many instances, both lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty are concurrently performed. This dual approach not only enhances eye size both horizontally and vertically but also diminishes the likelihood of reconnection at the eye corners.

We strongly advise consulting with a highly experienced plastic surgeon before considering any eye surgery.
