Most discourses on plastic surgery, and more importantly eyelid surgery, are not complete without a reference to Jocelyn Wildenstein, the ‘Lion Woman’ of New York Society. Apparently, her desire to look more feline was a move to recapture her lion-loving husband’s dying interest and it is this that led her to persuade her doctor to perform multiple facial cosmetic procedures.
From the sharp slant of her eyes, Jocelyn has most definitely had an extreme canthopexy procedure. This type of eyelid surgery is primarily cosmetic in nature and draws on stabilizing the tendons in the lower eyelid. A similar eyelid surgery procedure is a canthoplasty, which detaches the lateral canthal tendon and constructs a replacement.
When cosmetic surgery procedures like canthopexy are performed, the resulting look is very exotic and yields in a sloe-eyed look. In a way it is quite opposite to an Asian blepharoplasty procedure which results in the patient having a distinctly Caucasian pair of eyes.
At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, top plastic surgeons are proficient in various types of eyelid surgery procedures as well as reconstructive cosmetic surgery. While it is all right to look unique and pursue a different idea of beauty, an extreme canthopexy is advised against.
Our expert diagnosis and advice has resulted in many people putting their best face forward with pride.
