What is Canthoplasty?

Cat eye surgery, medically known as canthoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape the outer corners of the eyes, creating an elongated, almond-like appearance reminiscent of a cat’s eyes. This surgical technique involves tightening and repositioning the lateral canthus—the point where the upper and lower eyelids meet—to achieve a lifted and youthful look. At Estevien Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, our skilled surgeons utilize advanced methods to perform canthoplasty, enhancing the natural beauty of the eyes while maintaining facial harmony.

What does cat eye lift surgery involve?

The procedure:

  • Incisions: One or two incisions are made, typically along the natural crease of the upper eyelid or in the hairline near the temples.
  • Tissue manipulation: The surgeon lifts and tightens the lateral canthus, which is the outer corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet. This can involve adjusting muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
  • Suturing: The incisions are then closed with sutures.

Variations:

  • Open vs. closed: The procedure can be performed as an open technique, where the incisions are visible, or a closed technique, where the incisions are hidden inside the eyelid crease.
  • Thread lifts: In some cases, threads may be used to lift and tighten the tissues instead of traditional sutures. This is a less invasive option, but the results may not be as long-lasting.

Preparation for a canthoplasty procedure

Getting ready for cat eye surgery involves research, choosing a qualified surgeon, and discussing your medical history openly. Stop smoking, adjust medications as directed, and arrange for post-surgery help. Remember, clear communication and realistic expectations are key for a smooth and successful experience.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Canthoplasty?

Determining whether you are a suitable candidate for canthoplasty involves various factors. This cosmetic eye surgery is typically recommended for individuals with concerns about sagging or drooping eyelids, seeking to achieve a more lifted and youthful appearance.

At Estevien Clinic, our experienced surgeons will assess your individual needs and discuss your options to determine if canthoplasty is right for you. We will also provide you with detailed information about the procedure, including the risks and benefits, so you can make an informed decision.

What are the benefits of cat eye lift surgery?

Potential benefits:

  • Improved appearance: This is the primary motivator for most people considering cat eye lift surgery. The goal is to achieve an upward tilt and almond-shaped appearance to the eyes, often perceived as youthful, alert, and attractive.
  • Correction of drooping eyelids: In some cases, the surgery can address drooping outer corners of the eyes, creating a more open and lifted appearance.
  • Enhanced confidence: For some individuals, achieving their desired eye shape can boost their self-esteem and confidence.

How long is the recovery after cat eye surgery?

Recovery after cat eye lift surgery can be divided into three main stages:

Immediate recovery (1-2 weeks):

  • Expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and gradually improves over time.
  • You’ll likely have stitches, which are usually removed after 5-7 days.
  • Vision may be blurry initially due to swelling, but this should clear up within a few days.
  • You’ll need to wear protective eyewear and avoid strenuous activities.
  • Pain medication may be prescribed to manage discomfort.
  • Rest and gentle cold compresses can help promote healing.

Intermediate recovery (2-4 weeks):

  • Most of the swelling and bruising should subside by this point.
  • You can gradually resume most activities, but avoid anything that could strain your eyes or disrupt the healing process.
  • Gentle eyelid massage may be recommended to help reduce scarring.
  • You’ll still need to be careful when applying makeup and avoid using harsh products.

Full recovery (6-12 months):

  • Final results become more visible as swelling completely disappears and tissues settle into their new positions.
  • The full scope of the aesthetic improvement and any scarring becomes evident.
  • It’s important to note that aging and lifestyle factors can affect the longevity of the results.

How long does a Cat Eye lift last?

On average, patients may enjoy the benefits of a cat eye lift for 5 to 10 years before considering any additional procedures. It’s crucial to follow post-surgery care instructions provided by the surgeon, including proper skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle to optimize and maintain the results.

What is the difference between Canthoplasty and Blepharoplasty?

While both canthoplasty and blepharoplasty address concerns around the eyes, they target different aspects and achieve distinct results:

Canthoplasty:

  • Focuses on the outer corners of the eyes, specifically the lateral canthus where upper and lower eyelids meet.
  • Aims to elongate and lift the eye shape, creating an “almond-like” appearance often perceived as youthful and alert.
  • Can address drooping outer corners and correct certain eyelid malpositions.

Blepharoplasty:

  • Deals with the entire eyelids, both upper and lower, addressing excess skin, muscle, and/or fat.
  • Targets concerns like drooping eyelids, puffiness, and bags for a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
  • Can be combined with canthoplasty for a more comprehensive eye-area improvement.

Key differences:

  • Target area: Canthoplasty for outer corners, blepharoplasty for entire eyelids.
  • Goal: Canthoplasty for lifting and shaping, blepharoplasty for addressing excess tissue and overall rejuvenation.
  • Combination: Often complementary, canthoplasty sometimes accompanies blepharoplasty for a complete outcome.
