title: Lateral canthoplasty with acellular cadaveric dermal matrix graft (AlloDerm) reinforcement.
abstract: Lateral canthal dystopia can lead to lower eyelid malposition, abnormal lateral eyelid fissure appearance, and lagophthalmos. In most cases, the lateral canthus can be repaired with a standard lateral canthopexy or canthoplasty. In a fraction of cases, especially when recurrent, the surgical repair may require additional lateral canthal reinforcement.
