Right for You?
  • You have "sad" or drooping outer eye corners.
  • You desire a more slanted, exotic ("Fox Eye" or "Bella Eyes") look.
  • You want a permanent change rather than temporary threads.
  • You are looking for a procedure with minimal downtime (return to work quickly).
  • You want to avoid the hassle of stitch removal (thanks to self-melting sutures).
Common Myths
  • "It affects my vision." → False. It deals only with the outer eyelid structure and does not touch the eyeball or vision.
  • "It is only for women." → False. As stated in the text, it is suitable for both men and women seeking a dynamic look.
  • "The results are temporary like threads." → False. Unlike thread lifts which last a few months, Cantopexy is a surgical, permanent solution.

What is Almond Eye Aesthetic?

Endoscopic almond eye surgery, clinically known as cantopexy, is a modern aesthetic procedure designed to refine the shape and tilt of the eye to achieve a more slanted and attractive appearance. This intervention specifically targets and removes tissue prolapse on or around the eyelids to provide a refreshed and youthful look to the mid-facial region. Often referred to as "fox-eye" or "cat-eye" surgery, it has gained significant popularity for its ability to modernize the eye contour while maintaining a natural-looking result. The primary goal is to obtain a livelier and healthier gaze that harmonises perfectly with the rest of the patient’s facial features. By altering the positioning of the outer corners of the eyes, the surgery provides a subtle yet effective rejuvenation that addresses the visible signs of fatigue. The procedure is highly sought after by those who wish to enhance their facial aesthetics through structural correction rather than temporary measures. Ultimately, almond eye surgery provides a permanent aesthetic solution that significantly boosts the patient’s self-confidence and overall facial harmony.

Suitable Candidates and Eligibility

Since those who have undergone almond eye surgery have a very attractive appearance, many people have wondered who this aesthetic surgery can be applied to. The almond eye surgery is an aesthetic surgery that can be applied to everyone, whether male or female. In the almond eye aesthetic, the outer corner of the eye is stretched upwards. Although it has become a reason for preference because it is a permanent aesthetic operation, it can need to be done again as the age progresses. If there is any problem in the upper or lower eyelids of the person who wants to have almond eye aesthetic, this problem should be eliminated first. After this problem disappears, the almond eye surgery can be performed.

How is Almond Eye Surgery Performed?

In the almond-eye aesthetic, which is a surgical procedure, the outer corner of the eye is raised upwards. Thus, the eye is slanted and the gaze gains a younger look. Special sutures are usually used when it comes to almond eye aesthetic. These special sutures are self-melting, so no sutures are taken. During this period, the patient can start working and easily continue his daily life.

Procedural Techniques and Recovery Standards

In this surgical procedure, the outer corner of the eye is precisely raised and stretched upwards to create the desired slanted effect and a younger look. The surgeon utilizes specialized sutures during the application that are designed to be self-melting, which eliminates the need for traditional stitch removal during follow-up. Because the technique is focused and meticulous, patients can typically return to their work environments and daily social lives with relative ease. The gaze gains an immediate refreshed quality as the corners of the eyes are repositioned to a more elevated and aesthetic state. Modern surgical approaches ensure that the procedure is performed with high precision, minimizing the impact on the surrounding delicate tissues. Recovery is generally characterized by a rapid return to routine activities, as the self-dissolving nature of the materials used supports a comfortable healing phase. The final result is a modernized eye contour that provides a dynamic expression without appearing artificial.

Also known as cantopexy, the procedure raises and stretches the outer corner of the eye upwards and outwards. This creates a slanted, "almond-shaped" look that provides the eyes with a younger, livelier, and more attractive appearance.
The results of cantopexy are intended to be permanent, though the natural ageing process may eventually affect the surrounding skin. It is a popular choice because it offers a significant and lasting transformation of the eye's tilt and contour.
We utilise specialised self-melting sutures that dissolve on their own, eliminating the need for a follow-up visit for stitch removal. This allows patients to return to their daily routines and work shortly after the procedure with minimal interruption.
If there is significant excess skin or sagging in the upper or lower lids, those structural issues should be treated first or simultaneously. This ensures the final almond-shaped result is not obscured by existing eyelid deformities.
