Fixing sutures too anteriorly pulls the lower eyelid away from the ocular globe, inducing nocturnal lagophthalmos and chronic dry eye syndrome.

Assessment should include eyelid laxity, lower-lid tone, globe prominence, tear-film symptoms, previous blepharoplasty, scar tissue, facial asymmetry, and the patient\u2019s desired canthal angle. A conservative plan respects the eyelid\u2019s relationship with the globe and avoids treating a photographic trend as a universal anatomical target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow-up focuses on closure, corneal comfort, swelling, wound healing, lid position, and symmetry. Temporary asymmetry can occur while tissues settle, but increasing pain, marked redness, vision changes, inability to close the eye, or severe dryness requires prompt clinical assessment. Recovery instructions should cover lubrication, sleep position, activity limits, sun protection, and the timing of aesthetic evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canthopexy overcorrection prevention should be individualized rather than reduced to a single angle or millimeter value. Patients can review the wider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/cat-eyes-surgery\/\">cat eyes surgery<\/a> program to understand how canthopexy relates to brow, temple, and lower-eyelid planning. A qualified oculoplastic or craniofacial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-mfo.com\/de\/\">surgeon<\/a> should confirm candidacy and explain revision options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photographs, ocular-surface symptoms, previous operations, and baseline eyelid position should be recorded before treatment. This documentation supports safer planning and makes postoperative changes easier to interpret during follow-up. Emergency contact details should be clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group dr-mfo-author-box\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Medically_Reviewed_Authored_by_Dr_Mehmet_Fatih_Okyay\"><\/span>Medically Reviewed &amp; Authored by Dr. Mehmet Fatih Okyay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Craniofacial Surgery with over 15 years of clinical experience in Istanbul.
