What is a negative canthal tilt?

A negative canthal tilt refers to the position of the inner corners of the eyes in relation to the outer corners of the eyes. If someone has a negative canthal tilt, it means that the inner corners of their eyes are lower than the outer corners. This can create a downward or droopy appearance to the eyes, giving the individual a tired or sad expression.

A negative canthal tilt can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, aging, and certain health conditions. In some cases, it may be a natural feature of the individual's facial anatomy. However, for those who are bothered by the appearance of a negative canthal tilt, there are cosmetic procedures available to address this issue, such as canthoplasty or canthopexy.

It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon or ophthalmologist to determine the best treatment option for correcting a negative canthal tilt and achieving the desired aesthetic outcome.
