Medial canthoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and reposition the inner corner of the eyelids, called the canthus. This surgery is often performed for functional purposes, such as treating eyelid sagging, ectropion, or other conditions that affect the eyelid’s function, but it is also commonly performed for cosmetic reasons to improve the eye’s appearance.

The procedure involves making a small incision at the inner corner of the eye, tightening the tissues, and repositioning the canthus to provide better support for the eyelids. Medial canthoplasty can improve eyelid function, restore symmetry, and enhance facial aesthetics.

This procedure is commonly combined with other eyelid surgeries such as blepharoplasty or tarsorrhaphy for a more comprehensive result.
