  • Title: [Lateral canthopexy - a simple addition to lower lid blepharoplasty].
    Author: Green S, Stemplewitz B, Keserü M.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 2015 Jan; 232(1):33-6. PubMed ID: 25611497.
    Abstract:
    Rejuvination of the lower lid is a challenging procedure. Lower lid malposition and ectropion are serious postoperative complications. Therefore presurgical assessment of the lower lid function and laxity are a must before performing a blepharoplasty. Lateral canthopexy is an effective procedure to minimise the risk of postsurgical ectropion. Its necessity increases with rising age of the patients. The canthopexy supports the lower lid postion in the case of increasing vertical tension.
