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

What It Improves

  • 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
  • 采用精细分层缝合技术,最大限度减少外角疤痕

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
  • Discharge: same day with cold-compress 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; final settle 2–3 months

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
  • Avoid makeup on the corner, 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 skin or muscle is contributing
  • Under-eye refinements (tear-trough/fat reposition) for full harmony
  • Laser toning/LDM later for redness/texture polish

安全性和适用性

  • Not for active eye infection or severe dry eye without management
  • Fitzpatrick-aware scar protocols to reduce PIH risk
  • Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon with ocular-surface protection
