Cat Eyes Surgery (also known as Canthoplasty or Lateral Canthoplasty) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reshape the eyes to achieve a more elongated, almond-like appearance, often referred to as the “cat-eye” look. This procedure can enhance the eyes’ natural contour and provide a more dramatic and youthful appearance.
How is Cat Eyes Surgery performed?
Anesthesia: The procedure typically begins with local anesthesia to numb the area around the eyes. Sedation or general anesthesia may be used for patients who prefer to be asleep during the surgery.
Incision: The surgeon makes precise incisions at the outer corners of the eyes, known as the lateral canthus. These incisions are usually made in natural creases or hidden areas to minimize visible scarring.
Reshaping: Through the incisions, the surgeon repositions the lower eyelid and tightens the lateral canthus to achieve the desired almond shape. Excess skin or muscle may be removed or adjusted as needed to enhance the eye shape.
Closure: The incisions are closed with fine sutures. A protective dressing or bandage may be applied to support the healing process.
