What is Canthoplasty?
Canthoplasty is a surgical solution reshaping the corners of the eyes by tightening and repositioning the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support the eyelids. It can be performed to correct lower eyelid drooping, create a more almond-shaped eye, or achieve a brighter, more youthful appearance. At ThePLUS, we strive to create your ideal eye shape. Our approach to canthoplasty involves considering each individual’s unique facial features to achieve the most natural and flattering eye shape.

Eyes should look natural and clear from all angles, even when closed. If you have Mongolian folds– the skin covering the inside corner of your eye –or narrow outer corners, our canthoplasty surgery can significantly improve the appearance of your eyes by reshaping the lines from both the inner and outer corner, ensuring alignment with the pupil.
At ThePLUS, our canthoplasty procedures are meticulously designed to align with each individual’s unique facial characteristics, ensuring that your eyes are enhanced while preserving your natural charm. We create visually appealing eyes that harmoniously match your unique characteristics and eye shape, complementing your overall appearance.
