What Is Almond Eye Aesthetics (Cat Eyes – Fox Eyes – Almond Eyes Surgery)?

Almond eye aesthetics is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that aims to create a more lively, dynamic, and attractive gaze by slightly lifting the outer corners of the eyes. This procedure adds energy and expression to the eyes without altering their natural shape.

During surgery, the outer corner of the eye is supported and lifted via the canthal tendon. As a result, the gaze becomes more defined, with the goal of achieving a more attractive and vibrant expression. The characteristic “slanted and energetic look” of Hollywood stars can be achieved naturally with this technique.

How Is Almond Eye Aesthetics Performed?

The procedure takes approximately 1 hour. The surgical steps are as follows:

1. A small incision is made within the scalp.
2. A subcutaneous tunnel is created to reach the outer corner of the eye from the temporal region; no incisions are made around the eye.
3. The outer corner of the eye is gently lifted and fixed via the canthal tendon.
4. The incisions are closed within the scalp, leaving no visible scars.

A mild feeling of tightness may occur after the procedure; this completely returns to normal within a few days.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Almond eye aesthetics is ideal for individuals who want their gaze to appear more attractive, expressive, and energetic.
Especially:

• Those with mild drooping or sagging at the outer corner of the eyes,
• Individuals whose gaze appears tired or fatigued,
• Those with mild asymmetry around the eyes,
• Individuals seeking a more defined and striking aesthetic look,

The procedure can be applied to individuals over the age of 18 whose facial and bone structure has fully developed.

Procedures That Can Be Performed Together with Almond Eye Aesthetics

For a more holistic and harmonious facial rejuvenation result, this operation can be combined with other aesthetic procedures. The most commonly preferred combinations are as follows:

Temporal Lift

By accessing under the skin from the temporal region, the outer corner of the eye is lifted upward; when combined with almond eye aesthetics, the eye area and eyebrow line rejuvenate in a harmonious manner.

Brow Lift

By elevating the overall position of the eyebrows, it provides a balanced appearance in the forehead and eye area; when combined with almond eye aesthetics, the slant of the outer eyebrow and outer corner of the eye is maximized.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Removes excess skin and bags from the upper and lower eyelids; when combined with almond eye aesthetics, the eyes appear more open, more defined, and more dynamic.

Midface Lift

Lifts the cheek and under-eye area upward; when combined with almond eye aesthetics, it creates a natural and aesthetic harmony between the eye area and the cheek line.
