Cat Eye Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Are you dreaming of lifted, elongated eyes that exude confidence and elegance? Cat Eye Surgery—closely related to the trending Fox Eye look—is a popular cosmetic procedure in Korea that subtly raises the outer corners of the eyes, creating an almond-shaped, feline appearance. It’s ideal for those seeking a sharper, more defined gaze without sacrificing natural beauty.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we combine advanced surgical techniques with an artistic approach to help you achieve youthful, symmetrical, and beautifully contoured eyes. Whether you're correcting drooping lids or simply refining your aesthetic, our team ensures your transformation is safe, subtle, and stunning.


Why Choose Cat Eye Surgery?

Cat Eye Surgery is favored for its ability to:

  • Lift and elongate the eyes for a seductive, upward tilt
  • Correct downturned or sagging outer corners
  • Add definition and structure to tired or flat eyes
  • Create harmony with other facial features
  • Deliver long-lasting results with a single procedure

Perfect for both men and women, this surgery enhances the natural eye shape while maintaining facial balance.


Tailored Cat Eye Techniques at Light Clinic

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we understand that no two eyes—or beauty goals—are alike. That’s why we offer a range of personalized surgical techniques based on your unique anatomy and preferences.

Surgical Options Include:

  • Canthoplasty (Lateral Canthal Lift): Repositions the outer corner of the eye to a higher, more youthful position for a true “cat eye” effect.
  • Canthopexy (Supportive Lift): Reinforces the eye corner ligaments without cutting, ideal for minor lifts or younger patients.
  • Blepharoplasty Add-on: For those with droopy eyelids, combining cat eye surgery with upper or lower eyelid surgery can enhance results and rejuvenate the entire eye area.
  • We’ll help you choose the right approach during your consultation.


Consultation and Planning

Your surgical journey starts with a one-on-one consultation at our Seoul clinic. Here, we’ll evaluate your facial proportions and discuss your aesthetic goals to ensure a seamless, natural result.

During your consultation, we will:

  • Analyze your eye shape, lid position, and skin laxity
  • Discuss your ideal eye contour and lift angle
  • Present digital simulations or reference images
  • Review your health history and anesthesia options
  • Set realistic expectations and address any concerns

Our goal is to design a result that enhances your natural beauty while delivering a refined, lifted eye look.


The Procedure: What to Expect

Cat Eye Surgery is typically performed under local or twilight anesthesia and is considered a safe, effective outpatient procedure.

Surgical Steps:

  1. Incision Placement: Typically made discreetly in the outer eye corner or along the natural eyelid fold.
  2. Tissue Adjustment: The outer canthus (eye corner) is lifted and secured in a higher position on the orbital rim.
  3. Stitching and Support: Sutures are used to hold the tissues in place and optimize healing.
  4. Recovery Start: Patients return home the same day and begin recovery with minimal discomfort.

The entire procedure usually takes 1–2 hours.


Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from Cat Eye Surgery is generally smooth and straightforward. While some swelling and bruising may occur, most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days.

Post-Surgery Tips:

  • Use cold compresses to reduce swelling
  • Avoid rubbing or stretching the eye area
  • Sleep with your head elevated for several nights
  • Refrain from wearing eye makeup for at least one week
  • Follow your surgeon’s customized aftercare instructions

Routine check-ins at our clinic will ensure your healing process is progressing perfectly.
