Lateral canthus fixation lower eyelid treatment aims to brighten and clarify the under-eye area.

As aging progresses, the under-eye fat pockets can weaken, causing fat to protrude, leading to dark circles and wrinkles, resulting in a tired appearance.

This procedure improves the under-eye area to be brighter and clearer through a combination of surgeries.

The lateral canthus fixation surgery involves securing the inner eyelid and tarsus with the lateral canthal ligament to tighten the lower eyelid and prevent eversion due to eyelid retraction.

Excessive removal of the lower eyelid skin and muscle can cause the lower eyelid to evert, exposing the conjunctiva; thus, excision is performed appropriately alongside lateral canthus fixation.

When performed solely on the lower eyelid, the maintenance period may be short or may recur; fixing the orbital septum in conjunction reduces eyelid drooping and fat imbalance for higher postoperative satisfaction.

This surgery involves securing the orbital septum, the lower eyelid fat pocket, to the orbital bone, resulting in a taut under-eye appearance.

The surgery proceeds after assessing the degree of lower eyelid sagging and fat, making incisions under the eyes to remove and reposition unnecessary fat, pulling back and fixing the orbital septum, additionally tightening the orbicularis oculi muscle to the lateral canthal ligament, followed by excising wrinkle-prone and sagging eyelid skin, and suturing the incision site.

Rather than simply removing fat, this approach also enhances the septum while preserving a minimal amount of fat beneath the eyes, removing only the unnecessary excess.

By alleviating the appearance of dark shadows under the eyes caused by protruding fat, the lateral canthus fixation lower eyelid procedure enhances brightness and clarity.

To overcome the issues of short maintenance periods and recurrence associated with traditional lower eyelid surgery, a combination method is employed.

By also removing sagging skin, the procedure improves fine wrinkles under the eyes, enhancing the youthful effect.
