What is a canthal tilt?

Canthal tilt refers to the angle at which the outer corners of the eyes are positioned in relation to the horizontal plane of the face. A positive canthal tilt is when the outer corners of the eyes are higher than the inner corners, creating an upward slant. A negative canthal tilt is when the outer corners of the eyes are lower than the inner corners, creating a downward slant.

Canthal tilt can be influenced by genetics, age, and certain facial features. A positive canthal tilt is often associated with a youthful and attractive appearance, while a negative canthal tilt can give the eyes a more tired or sad appearance. Some people may seek cosmetic procedures such as surgery or dermal fillers to adjust the canthal tilt and achieve their desired look.

It is important to consult with a qualified medical professional before undergoing any cosmetic procedures to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
