Background: Canthal rounding can occur following trauma or surgery to the medial or lateral canthus, causing possible aesthetic or functional deficits to patients. Several surgical techniques to repair canthal rounding have been described previously. We report a new technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases.
Methods: This is a retrospective case series describing the technique using illustrative cases from across three sites (London [UK], Adelaide [Australia], Sydney [Australia]). Twelve patients with post-surgical canthal rounding were included. Information collected for our illustrative cases include patient demographics, diagnosis, complications, outcomes and further treatment.
Results: There were no peri- or post-operative complications. All except one patient reported good surgical outcomes after one procedure. In one patient there was rounding recurrence.
Conclusions: Our patients reported excellent outcomes post-operatively without any significant scarring.

Background: An improper procedure of esthetic lateral canthoplasty can lead to lateral canthal deformity with other complications. To ensure proper canthal contour and eyelid function, the lateral canthus must be restored and the lower eyelid must be stabilized.
Methods: This was a retrospective study that included a group of consecutive patients who had failed esthetical lateral canthoplasty between 2020 and 2022.
Lateral Canthotomy Revisited: A Refined Surgical Approach for Orbital Access.

The transconjunctival incision is a common and effective approach for establishing surgical exposure to the orbital floor. When access to the lateral orbit is also required, this incision may be extended by an accompanying lateral canthotomy, which releases the tarsal plates from the conjunctiva. Although this approach broadens surgical access through a simple extension, it is often remarked for unpredictable healing patterns and negative aesthetic sequelae, such as rounding of the lateral canthal angle.
