I had lateral canthoplasty last November. At first I thought it went well and was happy, but as time passed, the side effects became severe and I regretted it.. If anyone is considering lateral canthoplasty, I want to talk you out of it, so I'm leaving this review. I organized the side effects I experienced after surgery, 1. Persistent redness (the eyes are overall red and often itchy) 2. Red flesh (mucous membrane) showing - the mucous membrane is exposed at the surgical area, so it is very obvious and gross-looking 3. The surgical area attached again; it would be better if it simply reattached straight back to the original state, but the outer corner of the eye gets completely ruined... And asymmetrically too - the right side attached a lot and the left side did not heal, so the right outer corner was ruined into a shape like}, and the left into a blunt) shape... 4. There are no eyelashes at the operated area, so it looks awkward These are the four things that come to mind right now... Among them, the third side effect annoys me the most.. It doesn't show well in photos, so I'll explain further with a drawing.. If anyone is considering lateral canthoplasty, I really want to talk you out of it... I think there is a reason plastic surgery clinics don't readily perform this surgery
