Cat-Eye Enchantment: Canthoplasty
Step into the world of canthoplasty, a masterful transformation commonly referred to as cat-eye surgery.
This intricate procedure revolves around reshaping the "lateral canthus," which is the outer corner of the eye where the eyelids meet.
The goal? To bestow upon individuals the captivating gaze of an exotic cat.
Cat-Eye Surgery:
This procedure in carried out under general anaesthesia.
An incision graces the upper eyelid's natural crease, granting access to the theatrical tissues.
​
The lateral canthus tendon at the outer eye corner is cut, lifted, and repositioned, crafting an almond-eye aesthetic.
​
Surgeons weave their magic, reattaching the canthus tendon and sculpting a winged allure.
​
A subtle lift, akin to the graceful application of eyeliner or eyeshadow, but achieved through surgical finesse.
Canthoplasty masterfully repositions and tightens the lateral canthus, delivering a natural-looking eyelift.
Post-Cat-Eye Performance:
One week post-blepharoplasty, patients may resume their routines.
Swelling and bruising usually exit within the first two weeks, with the ultimate outcome revealing itself around six weeks post-operation.
For those contemplating another act, a two-month intermission before a subsequent facial operation is recommended.
Post-Performance Rituals:
What to Expect and Do:
After the facelift procedure, expect a period of numbness, bruising, swelling, and mild to moderate pain.
