Can Canthoplasty and Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Be Done at the Same Time?

When performing canthoplasty, after incising the lateral canthus, the outer under-eye fat often protrudes.

This happens when the bulging fat under the eyes pushes outward because it cannot withstand the pressure.

At this time, some of the under-eye fat needs to be removed in order to fix the outer corner of the eye downward, so in many cases, under-eye fat removal is needed when performing canthoplasty. Because the lower eyelid presses on the fat as the outer corner of the eye is lowered, the area under the eyes often looks puffy, so a canthoplasty that lowers the outer corner of the eye is aesthetically more advantageous if the under-eye fat is removed.

When lowering eyes with an upward outer corner, it is important to check whether there are dark circles caused by bulging under-eye fat. This is because if the under-eye area becomes even puffier after lowering the outer corner, the dark circles may look more severe.

Under-eye fat removal, which makes dark circles look more severe, is a procedure that matches well when done together with canthoplasty that lowers the outer corner of the eye. The incision from canthoplasty helps make under-eye fat removal easier.

After the procedure, the outer corner of the eye is naturally lowered, clearly changing the size and shape of the eyes, and the bulging fat pockets under the eyes are also well removed, helping to create a much cleaner impression. Having canthoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning together can be mutually beneficial procedures!
