Transform Your Eyes with Canthoplasty

Lift and Define Your Eyes with Canthoplasty

Lift, elongate, and define your eyes with Canthoplasty, the surgical procedure behind the sought-after Fox- Eye and Cat Eye Lift. Achieve a youthful, elegant look tailored to your natural beauty.

What is Canthoplasty?

Canthoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance and improve the symmetry of the outer corners of the eyes, creating an elongated, upward-tilted shape commonly known as cat-eye or fox-eye. The procedure slightly lifts the lateral canthus, the outer edge of the eye by removing excess skin and fat and tightening the underlying muscles. This results in a subtle, natural-looking lift that defines the eyes and gives a dramatic, exotic appearance.

While makeup techniques like eyeliner can temporarily create a cat-eye effect or fox-eye gaze, Canthoplasty offers a permanent solution, making it a highly sought-after procedure in Dubai and worldwide. Also referred to as designer eyes, fox-eyes, almond-eyes or cat-eyes, this treatment has become increasingly popular among individuals looking to refine their eye shape and achieve a more elegant, lifted, and youthful look.

Cat-Eye Lift vs. Fox-Eye Lift

Cat-Eye Lift: Focuses on creating a more curved, almond-shaped look by lifting the outer corners upward, giving a feline appearance.

Fox-Eye Lift: Offers a straighter, more elongated shape with a subtle, model-like lift inspired by eyes seen on Bella Hadid or Kendall Jenner.

Both aesthetically pleasing eye appearances can be achieved through Canthoplasty, with the choice depending on personal preference and facial symmetry.

Why Choose Canthoplasty for Fox or Cat Eyes?

Unlike non-surgical treatments, Canthoplasty provides a lasting and precise lift, giving you a defined eye shape and enhanced facial balance. The results are elegant, expressive, and tailored to your features.

How Does Canthoplasty Work?

Each patient’s cat-eye surgical strategy is unique. However, the primary goal of cat-eye surgery or fox-eye lift is to tighten or realign the anterior canthal tendon, which will result in a little but noticeable change to the exterior corner of each eye giving it an almond-shape. A little incision is made by the surgeon close to the lateral canthus. After that, doctors use sutures to seal the incision and pull the connective tissue into its new place. This causes each eye’s outer corner to seem higher than its lower corner, indicating a discernible shift in the eyes’ slant. A local anaesthetic is typically used during canthoplasty, an outpatient surgical procedure, to numb the eye. In certain cases, when a patient is extremely anxious before an operation, doctors will give them an intravenous sedative. The actual surgical cat-eye treatment or fox-eye lift takes around half an hour. This time frame may be extended when canthoplasty is combined with another procedure, such as an eyebrow shape modification.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment

Before Cat-Eye surgery or Fox-Eye lift, individuals must:

During treatment:

After treatment:

Following cat-eye surgery or fox-eye lift, the doctor will suggest you stop exercising for seven to ten days. During this time, you should get plenty of rest and keep your head up while you sleep. For several days, you will have to refrain from physical activity, massaging the region that has been treated, and using eye makeup.

Doctors also advise not to overstress the eyes in the post-operative period. Therefore, until you fully recuperate, you must refrain from reading, watching TV, and glancing at your phone screen. Additionally, following surgery, your doctor could advise against using glasses or contact lenses for a few weeks.

Bruising and swelling are the most common negative outcomes of fox eye surgery, and they usually go away after two weeks. In addition, the patient may have impaired vision in the initial days after the procedure. After the procedure, the discomfort should be tolerable and minor. The dissolvable sutures employed during the cat cataract procedure will disintegrate within a week following surgery. Patients are recommended not to put on contact lenses for one month following surgery to facilitate healing.

Risks and Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, Canthoplasty carries potential risks, including infection, scarring, and asymmetry. It’s crucial to consult with a board-certified oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon to discuss these risks and determine if the procedure aligns with your aesthetic goals.
