How long is canthoplasty recovery?

Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days. Bruising and swelling settle gradually over the first 1–2 weeks. Final refined shape appears over 2–3 months as the tissues fully heal.

Canthoplasty in Tirana, Albania

Q: What is the difference between canthoplasty and canthopexy?

Canthoplasty fully cuts and repositions the lateral canthal tendon — more invasive, with stronger, longer-lasting structural change. Canthopexy is a suture-based suspension of the tendon without cutting — less invasive, with faster recovery but slightly less dramatic results. Canthoplasty is generally recommended when the desired lift is significant or when correcting more pronounced outer-corner descent.

Q: How long do canthoplasty results last?

Canthoplasty results are long-lasting — typically 10+ years, with the structural change essentially permanent. The tendon is fully repositioned, so the new outer corner anchor point is durable and stable.

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

Canthoplasty in the United States typically costs $5,000–$12,000+, and in the UK £3,500–£8,000. 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.

Surgical Canthal Repositioning

Canthoplasty in Tirana

A precise surgical procedure that fully cuts and repositions the lateral canthal tendon — creating a strong, long-lasting almond eye shape with structural lift.

Canthoplasty at Toke Medical Center is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation by European-trained aesthetic surgeons with 15+ years of experience. Through an incision hidden at the outer corner of the eye, the canthal tendon is detached and reattached at a new anchor point on the lateral orbital rim — producing a structural change that lasts. The technique is more invasive than canthopexy but delivers a stronger, more dramatic lift. Most international patients schedule a single 1–2 hour surgical session, recover for 10–14 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about canthoplasty

What is the difference between canthoplasty and canthopexy?

Canthoplasty is generally recommended when the desired lift is significant or when correcting more pronounced outer-corner descent.

Is canthoplasty 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 10–14 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?

Canthoplasty results are long-lasting — typically 10+ years, with the structural change essentially permanent. The tendon is fully repositioned, so the new outer corner anchor point is durable and stable.

Am I a good candidate for canthoplasty?

Good candidates are generally healthy individuals with significant outer-corner descent, weakened canthal tendons, or those wanting a strong, long-lasting almond eye shape. We assess your eye anatomy, tendon strength, and goals during your free consultation — and may recommend canthopexy instead if it better fits your case.
