Canthopexy in Tirana, Albania

Q: What is the difference between canthopexy and canthoplasty?

Canthopexy is a suture-based suspension of the lateral canthal tendon without cutting — less invasive, with faster recovery and slightly less dramatic results. Canthoplasty fully cuts and repositions the canthal tendon — more invasive, with stronger, longer-lasting structural change. We recommend the right technique based on your anatomy and goals.

Q: How long do canthopexy results last?

Canthopexy results typically last 5–10 years. While slightly less long-lasting than full canthoplasty, the elevation is structural and durable. Many patients maintain results with simple aftercare.

Q: How much does canthopexy cost in Tirana vs the USA?

Canthopexy in the United States typically costs $3,500–$8,000+, and in the UK £2,500–£6,000. The same procedure at Toke Medical Center in Tirana is priced significantly lower — American patients typically save up to 70% versus US prices, and European patients save 60% on average.

Suture-Based Canthal Suspension

Canthopexy in Tirana

A minimally invasive, suture-based procedure that elevates the lateral canthal tendon — sculpting a more lifted, almond eye shape without cutting the tendon itself.

Canthopexy at Toke Medical Center is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation by European-trained aesthetic surgeons with 15+ years of experience. Through a tiny incision at the outer corner of the eye (hidden in the lateral crease), the canthal tendon is suspended upward with permanent sutures — no tendon cutting required. The technique is less invasive than canthoplasty, with faster recovery and a more subtle, natural-looking result. Most international patients schedule a single 30–60 minute session, recover for 7–10 days, and see the final refined shape over 2–3 months — saving up to 70% versus comparable procedures in the USA and 60% versus UK and Western European clinics.

Minimally invasive. No tendon cutting — suture suspension only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about canthopexy

What is the difference between canthopexy and canthoplasty?

Canthopexy is a suture-based suspension of the lateral canthal tendon without cutting — less invasive, with faster recovery and slightly less dramatic results. Canthoplasty fully cuts and repositions the canthal tendon — more invasive, with stronger, longer-lasting structural change. We recommend the right technique based on your anatomy and goals.

Is canthopexy painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are normal during recovery and well managed with prescribed medication.

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days. Bruising and swelling typically settle over the first 1–2 weeks. You’ll see final refined results over 2–3 months as the tissues fully heal.

How long do results last?

Canthopexy results typically last 5–10 years. While slightly less long-lasting than full canthoplasty, the elevation is structural and durable. Many patients maintain results with simple aftercare.

Am I a good candidate for canthopexy?

Good candidates are generally healthy individuals with mild outer-corner descent who want a lifted, almond eye shape without the invasiveness of full canthoplasty. We assess your eye anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals during your free consultation.
