Cantopexy

A clear, open, radiant look is an indicator of youth, friendliness, good mood and well-being. Therefore, every woman strives to maintain the attractiveness and tone of the area around the eyes for as long as possible. However, the years passed, trauma, unsuccessful eyelid surgery and other factors make the look sullen, tired, full of suffering. Modern methods of plastic surgery - cantoplasty, cantopexy and blepharoplasty - cope with these problems. As evidenced by the reviews of patients and doctors, a combination of several surgical methods gives a greater visual effect.

Cantopexy - features

Cantopexy is a type of lateral cantoplasty and is done in the area of ​​the outer corners of the eyes, namely the canthal tendon. As a result of the operation, the outer corner of the palpebral fissure is lifted upward with the help of special manipulations to tighten the lateral ligament. And cantoplasty does not tighten, but partially removes, and then sutures the tendon, clearly correcting the shape and shape of the eyes.

The procedure can be performed in conjunction with lifting the lower and upper eyelids (blepharoplasty), which gives an excellent rejuvenating result - wrinkles, puffiness disappear, the look becomes open and fresh. And also, the intervention can be planned as part of a complex of procedures to improve the condition of the skin, circular lifting of the face and neck oval and other anti-age methods. What comes out more profitable in price than each operation separately.

To whom is the procedure recommended and for whom is it prohibited?

Surgeons recommend cantopexy for:

• changes due to age in the eyelid zone (flabbiness, stretching of the skin, bags under the eyes);
• excess skin volume in the lower eyelid;
• drooping outer corners of the eyes due to genetic predisposition or age;
• eversion of the lower eyelid;
• bulging eye pathology;
• the consequences of injuries in this area, scars, burns;
• incorrectly performed blepharoplasty, without surgical interventions supporting the lower eyelid.

This effect is carried out for all patients who have reached the age of 18. However, there are also prohibitions:

• period of pregnancy and lactation;
• severe myopia;
• glaucoma;
• dry eye syndrome;
• susceptibility to the appearance of keloid scars;
• infections are common or in the area of ​​intervention;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• diabetes;
• problems with blood clotting;
• oncological pathologies.

The decision to register for cantopexy or frontoplasty (rejuvenating forehead and eyebrow correction) in Poltava is made by the clinic's surgeon after a comprehensive examination, personal examination and listening to the wishes of patients from Kiev, Kharkov and other cities. Then you can find out the question - how much does the operation cost? As a result of preoperative measures, an individual cost of the procedure is formed for each person.

Preparatory measures before surgery

To exclude possible contraindications, the patient needs to undergo a full medical diagnosis, including consultations not only with a plastic surgeon, but also with an ophthalmologist. And also, pass the necessary tests.

One week before the intervention, you should stop taking anticoagulants and stop smoking and alcohol. On the day of the operation, do not use any cosmetics - neither care nor decorative.

The course of the surgical intervention

The operation itself takes about 1-2 hours. Most often it is done under general anesthesia, less often, strictly according to indications, under local anesthesia, plus sedation (sleep surfaces).

Stages of the procedure:

1. Areas of intervention are marked with a marker.
2. An incision is made in the natural fold of the outer surface of the eyelid.
3. The lateral ligament is removed, which holds the corners of the lower eyelid.
4. Manipulations are performed to tighten the tendon and fix it to the periosteum of the orbit.
5. Excess skin and soft tissue is removed (if needed for the desired result).
6. Cosmetic sutures are applied, which are hidden in the natural folds of the skin.

The operation is considered actually safe, since it does not touch the optic nerve and does not affect the quality of vision. There is no need to stay in the clinic. After recovering from anesthesia, the patient can go home.

Rehabilitation and possible complications

The recovery period, during which the patient should adhere to some restrictions, lasts no more than a month and passes positively. During this time, bruises, bruises, swelling disappear. Although the operation does not require a hospital, it is better to stay at home 2-3 days after the manipulation. You should less often keep your head in an inclined position, bend over, bend over yourself. For at least 2 weeks, you must:

• reduce physical activity, sports, fitness;
• do not overstrain your eyes - TV, gadgets, reading;
• do not wipe the area with cosmetic products;
• do not apply decorative cosmetics;
• do not wear contact lenses.

Also, the current month of rehabilitation:

• it is forbidden to go to saunas, baths, solariums, swimming pools;
• Sunglasses are required.

Drops are prescribed against possible dryness of the eyes. Painful sensations are relieved with analgesic drugs. The healing of the incisions itself occurs very quickly. At the same time, there will be no visual scars due to their concealment in the skin fold.

The operation completely eliminates more serious complications than edema and hematoma, irritation of the mucous membrane of the eyeball.

After 1-2 months, judging by the reviews, you can fully enjoy the beauty and open eyes. The effect of rejuvenation will delight patients from 5 to 10 years old. When combining cantopexy with manipulations to correct the shape of the palpebral fissure, the result will be lifelong.

Experts recommend doing any planned surgical procedures, including cantopexy, in spring or autumn. During the period of not very high solar activity and the absence of severe cold weather.
