Cat Eyes

Cat Eyes surgery, also known as Canthoplasty or Fox Eye surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to elongate and lift the outer corners of the eyes. This creates an almond-shaped, cat-like eye appearance, enhancing facial symmetry and providing a more youthful and exotic look.

At Medixir Clinic, our Cat Eyes procedure is tailored to complement each patient’s facial structure. The surgery tightens and repositions the outer canthus (corner of the eye) by reshaping the tendons around the eye. This elevates the outer eyelid, improving the eye contour and often resulting in a more defined and lifted brow area.

The Cat Eyes procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other aesthetic treatments such as blepharoplasty, brow lifts, or non-surgical thread lifting, depending on the patient’s desired results.

The operation is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes about 1 to 2 hours. Small incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelid, allowing the surgeon to access and reposition the canthal tendon. The skin is then sutured with fine stitches to minimize scarring.

After the surgery, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tightness around the eyes, which usually subsides within a week. Cold compresses and prescribed medications help manage discomfort and speed up recovery. Most patients can return to daily activities within 7 to 10 days.

The results of Cat Eyes surgery are long-lasting and provide a dramatic yet natural enhancement of the eyes. The lifted outer corners give the face a rested, elegant, and striking appearance. The final outcome becomes more evident as the swelling goes down over the following weeks.

Ideal candidates for Cat Eyes surgery are healthy individuals looking to enhance the natural shape of their eyes or correct sagging at the outer corners. It is especially popular among younger patients seeking a more defined eye shape or those wishing to reverse signs of aging.

At Medixir Clinic, we use advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural-looking, symmetrical results that are customized to each individual’s facial features. We prioritize patient safety and satisfaction, offering full support before, during, and after the procedure.

The Cat Eyes procedure is minimally invasive and offers a refreshed, youthful appearance with a relatively short downtime. It’s a preferred choice for individuals seeking a bold aesthetic change without the need for extensive surgery.
