Thank you Dr. Niamtu. Was that the 6-0 vicryl for the canthopexy?

[@jniamtuiii]

5-0 Vicryl is what I use. I also have a for purchase training series available for preview or purchase at

would you be more specific where to fixate to the orbital area?

[@jniamtuiii]

Just inside of the upper portion of the lateral orbital rim. I would say the superiorlateral corner.

[@romeebrownly3950]

With the 5-0 vicryl suture, will the results last long term, since its a non-permanent suture ? Will revison be needed later on?

[@jniamtuiii]

The suture does not make a big difference as it holds the tissues long enough to fuse together with healing. After a month, the suture is not what holds, the scar and healing is what holds.

Great pearls❤❤❤!

Thanks

Hi dr joe! Why you dont use permanent suture like nylone instead of vycril?

[@jniamtuiii]

I believe it scars down and adheres with healing so no permanent foreign body needed.

Never heard of loose lower eyelids.
