Lateral canthus cut

[Gio.]

I've seen so many people do the easy medial canthus cut. But do anyone in here have experience with lateral canthus cut and if so does anyone have a guide to make sure I don't mess up.

I would not recommend you do that. There are a lot more moving parts in the lateral canthus area than the medial canthus.

You can try to fraud a longer eye laterally by applying eyeliner (also can help fraud to a more positive canthal tilt). Brown/light brown eyeliner exists and looks somewhat natural, but black can also look good when stylized on certain people.

Lateral is a different operation to the medial one, that's why you see so few. Medial is skin, lateral means moving the tendon that holds the corner of the lid. The failure mode is a rounded or drooping outer corner, and fixing that is harder than the original surgery.
