Lower eyelid laxity can occur as a result of traumatic injury, age, nerve damage, or complications relating to prior surgical procedures, which can include prior excision of eyelid tumors with reconstruction. Canthoplasty and canthopexy refer to procedures that are performed to tighten and support the lower eyelid to correct these issues.
In order to prevent lower eyelid malposition, lateral canthal tightening is often needed and when combined with lower eyelid surgery, can lead to improved aesthetics, restored eyelid function, and reduced risk of post-operative eyelid malposition.
