About Our Doctors FAQ

What is Almond Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty)?

Almond eye surgery, also known as Canthoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at achieving the sought-after almond-shaped eye look. This technique adjusts the eye's outer corner, lifting the skin and tissue to create an attractive upward slant. It is ideal for individuals who want to correct drooping eyelids or eyes that appear downturned, offering a more youthful appearance. The procedure involves lifting and tightening the eyelids, addressing both cosmetic concerns such as sagging skin and puffiness, and functional issues like ectropion (lower eyelid turning outward) or ptosis (drooping eyelids). The procedure not only enhances the eye shape but also ensures facial harmony for a natural and balanced outcome. Almond eye surgery is perfect for those desiring a lasting solution to rejuvenate their eye aesthetics, making it a popular choice for enhancing facial vitality.

At Estetik International, we specialize in canthoplasty, using advanced surgical techniques to deliver natural looking results that enhance the beauty and function of your eyes.

Who is suitable for Almond Eye Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for almond eye surgery if:

You have drooping eyelids that cause a tired or aged appearance.
You experience functional issues such as ectropion or ptosis.
You wish to enhance the overall appearance of your eyes, improving both aesthetic and functional aspects.
You are in good health with realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure.

Which Problems Can Be Solved with Almond Eye Surgery?

Almond eye surgery, also known as canthoplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the eye shape and address several aesthetic concerns.

Sagging or Drooping Eyelids:
Over time, the eyelid skin may sag, making the eyes look tired or aged. Canthoplasty lifts the outer corner of the eyelids to restore a youthful, wide-awake look.
Ectropion (Lower Eyelid Eversion):
When the lower eyelid turns outward, it exposes the inner eyelid and may cause irritation and dryness. Canthoplasty tightens the lower eyelid, restoring its correct position and preventing discomfort.
Ptosis (Drooping Lower Eyelids):
If your lower eyelids droop, it can affect both the aesthetic and function of your eyes. Canthoplasty corrects the position of the eyelids to provide a balanced, refreshed appearance.
Aesthetic Enhancement:
Many patients choose canthoplasty to define and lift their eyes, especially when seeking to improve the overall symmetry and beauty of their face.

Almond eye surgery, also known as canthoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at altering the shape and appearance of the eyes to make them appear more almond shaped. This procedure typically involves modifying the lateral canthus, the outer corner of the eye, to create a more elongated, lifted, and aesthetically balanced appearance. Canthoplasty enhances the eye’s natural contour, providing a more youthful, exotic, and expressive look.

While almond eye surgery is primarily focused on changing the shape of the eyes to a more elongated, almond-like appearance, it can also address minor eyelid sagging by tightening the outer corner of the eye. However, if there is significant eyelid drooping or excess skin, a combination of almond eye surgery and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may be recommended to achieve the best results.

The incisions made during almond eye surgery are typically small and well hidden in the natural folds of the eye. As a result, visible scarring is usually minimal. The healing process may take a few weeks, but scars generally fade over time and are not noticeable once fully healed.

Yes, almond eye surgery provides long lasting results. The shape of your eyes will remain altered for many years, though as you age, your skin and tissues may naturally loosen over time. While the results are durable, lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and smoking can affect the longevity of the results, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the appearance.

Yes, almond eye surgery can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lifts, or facial fat grafting, for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Combining procedures can provide more dramatic results and improve overall facial harmony. Be sure to consult with your surgeon to discuss the best approach for achieving your desired outcome.

Important information!

To perform an almond eye surgery, there are three main steps:

Consultation : Discussing needs and outcomes

Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with your doctor to discuss your goals, outcomes.

After agreeing on the details, our medical staff schedule your operation day.

On the day of almond eye surgery, the procedure consists of carefully planned steps to redefine the eye shape. Initially, the patient is prepared and administered anesthesia. The surgeon then makes precise incisions, usually made at the outer corners of the eyes or hidden within the natural creases to ensure minimal visibility of any scarring. These incisions grant the surgeon access to adjust the tension of the lateral canthal tendon, essential for achieving the almond shape. The technique and extent of the incision depend on the individual's anatomy and the desired outcome, focusing on creating a subtly lifted and more youthful appearance around the eyes. This meticulous approach allows for a targeted enhancement, contributing to the overall facial aesthetics without compromising the natural look of the eyes.

After almond eye surgery, it's typical to see some swelling and feel a bit of discomfort around the eyes. You should not worry—your surgeon will give you pain medications to ease the pain. Taking good care of the tiny incisions by following your surgeon's instructions is key to a smooth recovery. You need to take it easy for a couple of weeks, avoiding heavy lifting or anything that puts too much strain around your eyes. Besides, your surgeon might suggest using eye drops or ointments to keep your eyes comfortable and assist in healing. It is important to protect eyes from the sun and wind. Most of the patients can return back to their usual routine within a week or so, but the full healing process takes a bit longer—your new eye shape will settle in over a few months. Listening carefully to what your surgeon advises after surgery is super important for the best results.
