title: [External canthopexy and blepharoplasty].
abstract: The obliquity of the palpebral cleft is one of the determinant elements of facial appearance. External canthopexy or transposition of the external palpebral tendon, performed in young subjects by release of the orbital septa, allows rejuvenation of the face and tightening of the skin without resection. In elderly subjects it is also a good insurance against postoperative lagophthalmia.
