Lower Canthal Deformity & Downward Pull

Lower canthal deformities often develop when downward tension is concentrated at the eyelid margin after combined canthoplasty or lower eyelid surgery.
Patients may experience asymmetry, eyelid retraction, discomfort, or progressive instability over time.

Dr. Ahn addresses these cases by redistributing tension away from the eyelid margin and reinforcing underlying support structures.
Techniques such as SMAS fixation and lateral tarsal suspension are used to restore balance while preserving natural eyelid movement and ocular protection.

This structure-based approach avoids aggressive tightening and instead prioritizes functional comfort, anatomical integrity, and stable eyelid position during daily facial expression.
