Eyelid tightening
Eyelid tightening surgery is usually performed with a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to tighten the lower eyelid and give some patients more of an almond eye appearance. In older patients with laxity of the lower eyelid, it can be performed as a standalone procedure.
At FaceRestoration, we use eyelid tightening for both cosmetic and clinical purposes. Patients suffering from lower lid ptosis or a droopy lower lid may benefit from eyelid tightening, as well as patients looking to enhance their appearance with a lifted, and rejuvenated look.

What is the eyelid tightening procedure?
There are a variety of methods for tightening eyelids. Some treatments are more invasive than others. For example, Canthoplasty involves cutting repositioning muscles and tendons whereas Canthoplexy involves suturing for repositioning and strength. We will discuss the types of treatment that are most appropriate at your consultation appointment.
How long is the recovery after eyelid tightening surgery?
Depending on the type of surgery you recieve, it is normal to expect a small amount of bruising and swelling. Most patients can return to normal activities after 3 weeks.
After your surgery, you will have access to both surgeons via chat, so that you may ask questions about your recovery at any time.
Is the surgery permanent?
Surgery is permanent and should last well. It is important to remember that skin will lose elasticity over time. The effects of ageing and gravity will mean gradually loosening over a long period of time.
