Algorithm for canthoplasty: The lateral retinacular suspension: A simplified suture canthopexy

Results of aesthetic lower eyelid surgery have improved through a better un derstanding of the anatomy, indications for surgery, and more effective, in dividualized solutions for the varied problems, Most treatment options have the potential risk of inducing lower eyelid malposition if support is not applied through either canthoplasty or canthopexy. An algorithm for selecti ng the most appropriate method of canthal support in lower eyelid and midfa cial rejuvenation is presented. A new, simplified, effective, and aesthetic suture canthopexy, the transpalpebral lateral retinacular suspension, is i ntroduced; it can be universally applied.
