Canthoplasty in Antalya, Turkey | Eye Corner Surgery by Dr. Emir Doğan
Enhance and lift the outer corners of your eyes with expert Canthoplasty in Antalya. Specialized Oculoplastic Surgeon Dr. Emir Doğan performs precise eyelid corner repositioning to create a refreshed, naturally tilted, and youthful eye contour.
Canthoplasty might be the right type of surgery for a person whose eyelids tend to sag, or whose eyelids may appear uneven.
The aim of canthoplasty is to improve the shape of the eyelids, toning them up and leaving a younger, more refreshed appearance. This should be done in order to enhance appearance in a natural-looking way, rather than to alter the way we look.
As we age, the skin around our eyes naturally loses elasticity, resulting in an often drooping or sagging of the lower eyelids caused by lower lid tendon laxity.
It is not just the aging process that can cause the eyelids to sag, other factors may include overexposure to the sun , as well as lifestyle choices like smoking or excessive alcohol intake. Hereditary conditions, eye trauma or paralysis may too be causing these problems.
It is important to only have this procedure performed by an experienced, highly-trained oculoplastic surgeon, as the results of a poor surgery can be very difficult to correct.

Q: What is the main difference between Canthoplasty and Canthopexy?
A: Canthoplasty involves cutting and repositioning the lateral canthal tendon to significantly reshape or tighten the outer eye corner. Canthopexy is a less invasive procedure that supports and tightens the existing tendon without detaching it.
Q: Will there be visible scars after Canthoplasty?
A: Incisions are strategically placed within the natural creases of the outer eyelid corner, making any residual scars practically invisible once fully healed.
Q: How many days should I stay in Antalya after surgery?
A: We recommend staying in Antalya for 5 to 7 days to allow adequate time for post-operative evaluation and suture check before your departure flight.
