Sleek, Elongated Eye Shape—Balanced and Natural

Cat Eye Surgery (lateral canthoplasty/canthopexy) subtly tilts and elongates the outer eye by releasing or repositioning the lateral canthus and tightening supporting tissues. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon customizes angle, length, and support for an elegant lift—never over-pulled.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Desire for a slightly upturned, elongated outer eye
• Lateral hooding or short palpebral fissure width
• Good eyelid tone and realistic expectations
• Seeking permanent shape refinement vs. temporary thread lifts

Lo que mejora

• Outer-eye openness and horizontal length
• Mild lateral hooding and downward slant
• Subtle tilt for a sleek, “cat-eye” aesthetic
• Can harmonize with brow/temple contour

Surgical Approach (Customized)

• Precise marking of tilt, length, and canthal position
• Canthopexy/canthoplasty to stabilize the new angle
• Gentle lateral canthal web release when indicated
• Fine layered closure for minimal scarring at the outer corner

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-by-case)
• Time: ~45–90 minutes
• Incision: tiny at the outer canthus, hidden in natural lines
• Alta: mismo día con plan de compresas frías

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruising: 3–7 days (concealer after day 3–4 if cleared)
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Refinamiento de la forma de las esquinas: 4 a 8 semanas; asentamiento final: 2 a 3 meses

Results You Can Expect

• Sleeker lateral lift and elongated eye shape
• Balanced, symmetric outer corners
• Natural blink and tear function preserved

Aftercare

• Cold compress 48 hours, sleep elevated 1 week
• Lubricating drops/ointment as prescribed
• Evite el maquillaje en las esquinas, lentes de contacto, sauna ~2 semanas
• SPF 50+ and gentle scar care after suture removal

Combination Plans

• Brow-tail lift (thread/endoscopic) for added lateral openness
• Upper blepharoplasty/ptosis repair if lid skin or muscle is contributing
• Under-eye refinements (tear-trough/fat reposition) for full harmony
• Laser toning/LDM later for redness/texture polish

Seguridad e idoneidad

• Not for active eye infection or severe dry eye without management
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar protocols to reduce PIH risk
