What is a canthal tilt?

Here's some information about the canthal tilt:

The canthal tilt refers to the angle of the line connecting the inner and outer corners of the eye (the medial and lateral canthi) relative to a horizontal line. It's a subtle but noticeable facial feature that contributes to the overall appearance of the eyes and face.

• Positive Canthal Tilt: In a positive canthal tilt, the outer corner of the eye is higher than the inner corner. This is often associated with a more youthful, alert, and sometimes "feline" appearance. Many consider it aesthetically pleasing.

• Negative Canthal Tilt: The outer corner of the eye is lower than the inner corner. A more pronounced negative tilt can sometimes be associated with a tired or sad look.

It's important to note that the canthal tilt is just one aspect of facial aesthetics, and its perceived attractiveness is subjective and varies across cultures and individual preferences. Additionally, the canthal tilt can change with age due to factors like skin laxity. There are surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at altering the canthal tilt, but these should be approached with careful consideration and consultation with a qualified professional.
