Canthoplasty Surgery in Beverly Hills & Greater Los Angeles

The structure and contour of the outer eyelids play a critical role in both eye function and overall facial harmony. Canthoplasty is a specialized procedure designed to lift and stabilize the outer corners of the eyelids, correcting sagging, asymmetry, or structural laxity. At his state-of-the-art practice in Beverly Hills, renowned oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Kami Parsa offers advanced canthoplasty techniques for patients seeking natural, balanced results—whether for functional restoration or refined aesthetic improvement.

Why Canthoplasty Matters: Form, Function, and Confidence

The lateral canthus—the junction where the upper and lower eyelids meet—provides key structural support and contributes significantly to facial expression. In cities like Los Angeles, where sun exposure, environmental stressors, and the natural aging process affect facial tissues over time, this area often weakens, leading to drooping, asymmetry, and in some cases, medical complications such as:

  • Lower eyelid ectropion (outward turning)
  • Chronic eye dryness or tearing
  • Post-traumatic deformities
  • Loss of youthful eyelid contour

According to regional data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, eyelid procedures remain one of the most sought-after facial surgeries in Southern California, reflecting a growing interest in subtle, effective facial rejuvenation.

What to Expect from Canthoplasty Surgery

Canthoplasty is a highly nuanced procedure that focuses on tightening and repositioning the outer eyelid to restore structure and balance. It is ideal for patients who:

  • Are experiencing sagging or drooping lower eyelids
  • Have developed asymmetry due to prior surgeries, injury, or aging
  • Are seeking improvement after unsatisfactory blepharoplasty
  • Require support for better eyelid function and eye protection

Dr. Parsa takes a tailored approach to each case, often combining canthoplasty with lower blepharoplasty or ptosis correction when indicated. Every procedure is planned with both the aesthetic outcome and long-term functional health in mind.

Lower Eyelid Support & Structural Rejuvenation

Canthoplasty is especially effective for patients with loose or weakened lower eyelids—a common concern in older adults or those with significant sun damage. Without support, the eyelid may appear “pulled down,” giving the face a tired or withdrawn look. Functionally, this can also lead to eye irritation, poor tear distribution, or vision-related issues.

Through careful repositioning and stabilization of the lateral canthal tendon, Dr. Parsa restores the natural alignment and tone of the eyelid, creating a refreshed yet subtle result that enhances the entire midface.

Words cannot express how thankful and appreciative I am to have found you. I am deeply grateful for you, for your generosity and caring nature as pertaining to my medical condition. As you know, I was apprehensive about having further surgery, but you are and have been reassuring and confident in the type of procedure you would perform in order to fix my eyelid from the beginning. The fact that you are not pushy and gave me the time and space to make the decision on my own allowed me to prepare myself mentally and emotionally, that really made a difference. Besides from that, your continuous generosity made me confident that you were the right doctor for the task at hand. You will never know how appreciative I am of that. I would also like to let you know how pleased I am with the results of the surgery. I have not felt this comfortable in years. My parents are also very grateful since this was my 14th surgery. You have a true gift. Thank you again for your patience, time, concern, and overall care. I pray that God continues to give you strength to help people who truly need life-changing medical procedures.

Dr. Parsa is an amazing doctor. Warm and very caring. I had my eyes done a couple years ago and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Parsa likes to take the conservative approach which I greatly appreciate in a doctor when it comes to cosmetic surgery. I also go to Dr. Parsa for Botox and he always knows just the right amount. The staff in Dr. Parsa's office are all terrific!
