What is canthoplasty
Canthoplasty is surgery on the outer corner of the eye, called the lateral canthus. The goal is to tighten and reposition the supporting tendon in that area.
Over time, this tendon can weaken or stretch. This can cause sagging lower lids, downturned corners or a sad looking expression.
During canthoplasty, the surgeon restores support and creates a more defined eye shape. The result is a fresher and more balanced appearance around the eyes.
Who is a good candidate
You may be a candidate for canthoplasty in Lima, Peru if you have:
✅ Downturned outer corners that make you look sad or tired
✅ A loose or sagging lower eyelid
✅ Visible white below the iris from lower lid retraction
✅ Mild asymmetry between the shapes of both eyes
✅ Interest in a gentle almond eye effect that still looks natural
Good candidates are in overall good health and have realistic expectations. Your surgeon will always evaluate eye health and eyelid support before recommending surgery.
Benefits of canthoplasty in Lima, Peru
Canthoplasty can offer several aesthetic benefits:
✅ More defined and harmonious eye shape
✅ Subtle lifting of the outer corner of the eyes
✅ A more alert and rested appearance
✅ Better balance between the eyes and the rest of the face
There can also be functional benefits in some cases.
Improved lid support can reduce irritation and help protect the eye surface.
In Lima, you also benefit from modern techniques and accredited operating rooms.
This means high quality care with clear safety protocols and careful follow up.
How the procedure works
Everything starts with a detailed consultation at one of our Surco branches. Your surgeon studies your eyelid anatomy, tendon support and overall facial balance.
Some patients want a very subtle lift. Others require more structural support.
On surgery day, the steps usually include:
- Anesthesia is given for comfort and safety.
- A small incision is made at the outer corner of the eye.
- The lateral canthal tendon is identified and carefully released if needed.
- The tendon is tightened and fixed slightly higher in a stable position.
- The skin is closed with fine sutures that follow the natural creases.
Many patients combine canthoplasty with upper or lower blepharoplasty. This allows treatment of excess skin or fat in the same surgical session.
Recovery and aftercare
You leave the clinic the same day with written instructions and a prescription for any required medication.
In the first days, it is normal to notice:
✅ Swelling and mild bruising near the outer corners
✅ Light tension when blinking or closing the eyes
✅ Slight tearing or sensitivity to bright light
Simple care steps help your recovery:
✅ Use cold compresses as indicated by your surgeon
✅ Sleep with your head elevated during the first nights
✅ Avoid heavy exercise, pools and saunas for several weeks
✅ Use prescribed drops or ointments exactly as directed

What exactly is canthoplasty❓
Canthoplasty is eyelid surgery that tightens and reshapes the outer eye corner by adjusting the supporting tendon.

Not necessarily. Canthoplasty can create a gentle almond shape, but your surgeon controls how subtle or dramatic it is.

The tendon support is long lasting, but natural aging continues. The eye area will still change slowly with time.
