Elastic Canthopexy

Background: Operators and patients alike have always wanted a mini-invasive surgical procedure that is simple, safe and without complications – a procedure that can create the almond-shaped eyes of youth.

Methods: The external canthus and the tissues lateral to it are placed under traction by an Isosceles suspension triangle that is created by means of the elastic thread and the two-tipped needle (Elasticum, Korpo). The base of the triangle is situated at the hairline, while its apex is immediately below the lateral canthus.

Results: The result of elastic canthopexy is immediately visible; the patient's look is more youthful and attractive. This procedure can simply lengthen the eyes or else modify their inclination, creating the appearance of cats' eyes.

Conclusion: Elastic canthopexy is a simple procedure that preserves the eyelids and the lateral corner of the canthus, thereby avoiding the complications of traditional canthopexy and canthoplasty procedures.
