Canthoplasty in Morristown, NJ
The outer corner of the eyelid, the canthus, anchors the lid's tension and shape. When it loosens with age or after prior surgery, the lower lid can sag, round, or pull away from the eye. Canthoplasty rebuilds that anchor — tightening and resupporting the corner so the lid sits correctly against the eye, both for comfort and for contour.
Who it helps
- Lower lids that sag, round, or turn outward at the outer corner
- Eyelid laxity causing dryness, irritation, or tearing
- Patients seeking better eyelid support as part of lower blepharoplasty
- Revision of lid position after previous eyelid surgery
What to expect
- An examination of eyelid tone, corner position, and how the lid meets the eye
- An outpatient procedure, often combined with lower blepharoplasty when bag removal is also planned
- A fine incision hidden at the natural crease of the outer corner
- Swelling and tightness for one to two weeks, with the lid position refining as healing completes
