Almond eye aesthetics is a surgical procedure that provides a more attractive and youthful look by slightly lifting the corners of the eyes. With this method, also called cantoplasty, the outer edges of the eyes are fixed upwards, providing a raised appearance close to almond shape. It also contributes to eliminating tired looks and correcting sagging around the eyes.
This procedure can be applied to male and female patients who are over 18 years of age and whose general health condition is appropriate. The surgery, performed under local or general anesthesia, takes approximately 30-60 minutes. Through a small incision made on the outer edge of the eyelid, the tissue is pulled up and fixed to the bone membrane. There is almost no scar left after the procedure.
The patient can be discharged on the same day after surgery and can return to daily life within 2-3 days. In the first week, the eye area should be protected from impacts and makeup and intense facial expressions should be avoided. It takes approximately 10 days for the eye to take its final shape.
The permanence of the surgery depends on the patient’s aging process and skin elasticity. Almond eye aesthetics performed surgically are much more permanent than non-surgical applications such as thread suspension. Depending on the patient’s needs, the plastic surgeon may also combine this procedure with surgeries such as brow lift or midface lift.
When performed with the right patient selection and an experienced surgeon, almond eye aesthetics offers a result that is both natural and impressive.
