What Can I Expect After Canthoplasty Or Canthopexy Surgery? Question

Immediately following surgery, patients may experience blurred vision and mild-to-moderate swelling. However, these symptoms are normal and will subside as you continue to heal. Eye drops and cold compresses can help ease discomfort and assist in the recovery process. Patients should avoid strenuous activity and exercise for a few weeks following their surgery. Recovery will ultimately vary depending on the specifics of your procedure. The staff at Asaadi Plastic Surgery is available to answer any questions you may have following your treatment.

What Can I Expect Before Canthoplasty Or Canthopexy Surgery? Question

Before undergoing canthoplasty or canthopexy surgery, Dr. Asaadi will examine your eye shape and function, as well as discuss your goals for the procedure. Dr. Asaadi creates a personalized treatment plan for all of his canthoplasty and canthopexy patients in order to help each patient achieve their desired results. Typically, these procedures are performed under local anesthesia, but this varies depending on the severity of the case. Although procedure times will vary from patient to patient, canthopexy and canthoplasty procedures typically take less than an hour to complete. Patients should arrange for a ride to and from the surgery.

What Is Canthopexy Surgery? Question

Much like canthoplasty, canthopexy surgery is a cosmetic eye procedure that can correct the appearance of the lower eyelids. Unlike canthoplasty surgery, canthopexy does not require manipulation of muscles or tendons of the eye, resulting in a much less invasive procedure and shorter recovery times. However, canthopexy is less effective in changing the shape of the eye and providing the highly sought after “cat eye” appearance. Rather, canthopexy can tighten the outer corner to significantly improve sagging, drooping, or rounded corners of the eyes that often cause patients to look older than they may be. Canthopexy surgery is often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures to provide comprehensive results.

What Is Canthoplasty?

Canthoplasty in NJ is a surgical procedure to reduce the appearance of drooping or sagging of the lower eyelid, as well as reshape the eyes, by tightening the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues surrounding the outer corner of the eye, otherwise known as the lateral canthus. During this procedure, the outer corner of the eye can be reshaped to provide a more youthful, well-rested appearance. Unlike blepharoplasty, which is often performed to correct excess skin that presents with age on the upper and lower eyelids, canthoplasty modifies the shape of the eye, often providing the much-desired “almond-shaped” eye appearance that is classified by lifted outer corners that result in a brighter, wider look.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate For Canthoplasty Or Canthopexy? Question

Patients who are experiencing diminished confidence or eye functionality as a result of sagging lower eyelids may benefit from undergoing canthoplasty or canthopexy surgery in NJ. These procedures can also help reduce eye asymmetry, creating a more aesthetically pleasing facial profile. The ideal candidate is in good general health and a non-smoker. Additionally, it is important that patients are able to maintain realistic expectations for the results of their canthoplasty or canthopexy procedure.

Why Undergo Canthopexy Surgery? Question

Similarly to canthoplasty, canthopexy can be performed to correct the appearance of sagging on the outer corners of the eyes. Unlike canthoplasty, canthopexy does not directly target the muscular structure of the eye. As a result, canthopexy is not ideal for patients who are seeking to cosmetically reshape the eyes, or achieve an “almond” or “cat” eye appearance. Canthopexy surgery is best suited for patients who are seeking to restore youthfulness to the appearance of their eyes. Canthopexy surgery is often a solution for patients who have found other methods of eye rejuvenation to be unsuccessful.

Why Undergo Canthoplasty? Question

Patients may opt to undergo canthoplasty for cosmetic or medical purposes. Canthoplasty is a reconstructive procedure, meaning it can be performed to restore the appearance of the eyes following physical abnormalities caused by aging, birth defects, injury, disease, and more. Often times, canthoplasty surgery is used to correct lower lid laxity that occurs as the result of unsuccessful or “botched” procedures performed by other surgeons or aestheticians. Canthoplasty can also be performed to improve eye function by treating or helping manage medical concerns such as cornea damage, ectropion, and entropion. Additionally, patients seek out canthoplasty for cosmetic reshaping of the eye. By manipulating the internal muscular structure of the outer corner of the eye, canthoplasty can provide patients with a more lifted and well-rested appearance.

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

I have always had bags under my eyes, but as I became older, they seemed to get worse. Every time I looked in the mirror, all I saw were those bags. At least once a day at work, someone would ask me if I was tired. So, when my daughter announced her engagement, I thought it was time to do something. I made an appointment with Dr. Asaadi to see what my options were. My surgery was scheduled for August of 2012.

I was scared and apprehensive, but it was the right decision. I feel like a new person. No one asks me anymore if I am tired and I don’t shy away from having my picture taken. Dr. Asaadi and his staff have been terrific, so caring and professional. I only took one week off from work, and the bruising was minimal.

I probably would still have the bags if my daughter didn’t get married.

But, I am so thankful I had the surgery. And I was the proud mother of the bride. - M.W.

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

I have known Dr. Asaadi for fifteen years. I first met him in my fifties. I look tired and worn out and looking for a more youthful appearance. In meeting Dr. Asaadi he presented a picture of a very sincere and up standing person.

He took the time to go over my goals and together we outlined what was needed. I had rhinoplasty and eye corrective surgery. Down time was minimal and the results perfect.

Several years later I had a face lift and again was completely satisfied.

Presently I am 69 years old looking way better than when I first met with him. Let me add that since my surgery Dr. Asaadi has maintained my youthful appearance by using injectable fillers. He is a true genius and a very honest person whom I highly recommend.

Also his staff is the best - A.E.

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

Just a short note to tell you how happy I am and to thank you for your wonderful work. As soon as I walked out the door from our first consultation, I had this “feeling” and I knew you were the one I could put 100% trust in. Thank you for your attention to detail, the care you’ve shown me, and your warm personality. I count myself luck to know you.

Thanks and all the best to you!

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

“I am so very grateful for the tummy tuck that Dr. Asaadi performed on me. Dr. Asaadi has proven to me to be a meticulous artist of the body. I felt that the office and staff compares to no other. It has been 5 years since my surgery, I am 42 years old and I am feeling and looking just as good if not better since surgery. I am more confident putting on my clothing, especially bathing suits. Dr. Asaadi gave me my belly back from 20 years ago (pre-babies)."

I not only feel better in the way in which my body looks, but most important it changed the way I view myself inside and out.

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

My name is Paula and about a month ago you gave me some botox injections. I had recently finished nine months of very tough treatment for a stage III breast cancer and I was neither feeling nor looking my best. My hair had just begun to grow but I still was showing way too much forehead for my comfort zone so I thought perhaps a little botox would give me a "lift".

Well, I cannot say enough about my results. I feel fantastic about the way my skin looks. In fact, the other evening I bumped into some friends at a restaurant. The first thing they said to me was "your skin looks fabulous! Even better than before your diagnosis." Now that's amazing. Since seeing you, I have received numerous compliments about how alive I look. Well, I do have a great attitude but I have to say that your skillful work has really made me feel confident.

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. I wish all women who have been through treatment could feel as good as I feel. Thank you Dr. Asaadi.

Best regards,

P.F.

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

“After 10 years of hearing comments about how tired I appeared, I decided that the time had come for me to take action which required more than just getting extra sleep!!!

I did my research and decided that Dr. Asaadi was the best choice upon seeing the results of past patients and the unique technique that he uses.

Now, close to two years later, I couldn't be happier! Not only do I look 10 years younger, but I now feel refreshed and vibrant. No more comments about how tired I appear.

This surgery not only restored my youth, but it greatly improved my confidence level. As a salesperson and a single girl, this is incredibly Important!!! Whereas prior to the surgery, I couldn't even think about walking out the door without makeup, now I am completely comfortable with it. No more trying to conceal or detract attention from the severe bags under my eyes!!! Friends and relatives, and even sometimes I, cannot believe the difference this surgery has made! One of the best parts is that it looks incredibly natural. No one would ever know I had anything done unless I had told them. A yearlong spa getaway would not have produced such results!"

It was hands down the best money I ever spent!!!!! I feel like I'm a walking billboard for Blepharoplasty.

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

“Once I decided to undergo a tummy tuck procedure, I knew my appearance would change for the better. What I did not anticipate is what a profound effect the results would have on my overall way of life. Along with giving me the body I wanted, the transformation gave me a great sense of confidence, reassurance, and security with myself. I now walk upright and confident, as opposed to slouched and submissive. I enjoy shopping for clothes and wearing two piece bathing suits on the beach.

If anyone is contemplating having this procedure done, I strongly encourage them to do so."

Thanks to Dr. Asaadi I have the perfect body and a better life. - CT

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

Thank you - the phrase is simple and the words are few, but behind them lies a world of appreciation. Special people like you make the world a brighter place.

Thank you for helping me get better. Also to improve day by day my special future. I pray God bless your hands to help the life of others.

Love,

A.P.

On May 12, 2010 Dr. Asaadi performed a bilateral reduction mammoplasty, CORE AbdominoplastySM, repair of diastasis recti, VASER® LipoSelection of the back, flanks, upper inner thighs, pubic area, lateral chest walls, and a small area of the upper arms. I was very sore for the first week, but after that I could see improvement every couple of days. The more I walked the better and stronger I felt.

In exactly six weeks after the surgery I went with my daughter, son-in-law, and their 13 month old son to a destination wedding feeling great. My daughter was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to take care of the baby like I needed to ( her and her husband were in the wedding), but I had so much more energy and strength than I did in years. I felt so wonderful in my new clothes, and I can’t begin to express how many compliments I received.....especially in my “Tankini”!!!

I now look forward to getting up in the morning and picking out a nice fitting outfit for the day, and not some loose fitting shirt and baggy pants. Thank you, Dr. Asaadi....you gave me my self-confidence back!!!!”

Thank you, Dr. Asaadi....you gave me my self-confidence back!!!!”

Dear Dr. Asaadi,

Thank you for all your professionalism and time spent going over the procedure. I am pleased thus far; I can only imagine my gratitude in the months ahead, as I see my nose transforming. I put my face in the hands of a true sculptor and have nothing but praise and recommendation. Your staff are a wonderful representation of your reputation on being a true caring practice. Many Thanks.

Fondly,
