Soft, Elongated Eye Shape—Natural Balance, Not Overdone

Almond Eye Surgery refines the eye’s horizontal length and outer-corner tilt for a gently elongated, almond-shaped contour. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon customizes canthal angle, lid support, and skin tension to achieve an elegant, stable change that respects your natural anatomy.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Desire for longer, almond-like horizontal width
• Mild lateral hooding or downward outer corner
• Short palpebral fissure or “rounder” eye wanting subtle elongation
• Healthy eyelid tone and realistic expectations

What It Improves

• Outer-corner openness with soft up-tilt
• Smoother lid–cheek transition and lateral hooding reduction
• More defined, elongated eye silhouette in photos and profile
• Can harmonize with brow and temple contour

Surgical Approach (Customized)

• Lateral canthoplasty/canthopexy: secure, stable corner repositioning
• Web release when tight lateral commissure limits length
• Subtle skin redraping (if needed) to avoid bunching
• Fine layered closure—scar hidden in natural lines at the canthus

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-by-case)
• Time: ~45–90 minutes
• Incision: tiny, concealed at outer corner
• Discharge: same day with cold-compress and lubrication plan

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruising: 3–7 days (concealer after day 3–4 if cleared)
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Corner shape refinement: 4–8 weeks; full settle 2–3 months

Results You Can Expect

• Elegant almond contour with gentle lateral lift
• Balanced symmetry and natural blink mechanics
• Long-lasting shape that ages gracefully

Aftercare

• Cold compress 48 hours; sleep elevated 1 week
• Lubricating drops/ointment as prescribed
• Avoid eye makeup, contact lenses, sauna ~2 weeks
• 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 heaviness contributes
• Lower blepharoplasty or tear-trough refinement for full periorbital harmony
• Laser toning/LDM later for redness/texture polish

Safety & Suitability

• Screening for dry eye and lid support; conservative tensioning
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar protocols to minimize PIH
• Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon using ocular-surface–safe techniques

FAQs

Will it look too dramatic?
