Canthoplasty in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Understanding Canthoplasty: Enhancing Eye Appearance

Canthoplasty is a sophisticated cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape and appearance of the eyes. At Kulak Eye & Cosmetic Surgery, board-certified oculofacial surgeon Dr. Amy Kulak specializes in precise eye reshaping techniques that can restore youthful contours and address structural eyelid concerns.

What is Canthoplasty?

Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves tightening and reshaping the lower eyelid, specifically focusing on the outer corner of the eye. The primary goals include:

• Correcting drooping or sagging lower eyelids
• Elevating the canthal angle for a more lifted appearance
• Creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing eye shape

Ideal Candidates for Canthoplasty

Patients typically consider canthoplasty when experiencing age-related changes or eye trauma that result in:

• Ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid)
• Loss of skin elasticity around the eye
• Tired or sad-looking eye appearance
