What is cat eye surgery or canthoplasty?

The outer corners of the eyes are supported by muscles that lose their tone over the years; several techniques are used to perform canthoplasty in Iran. The technique of the surgery is selected by the doctor’s will. As a rule, when performing canthoplasty in Iran, a one-centimeter incision is made along the line of the upper eyelid. The incision is made in the natural longitudinal fold of the skin of the eyelid so that the stitches are not visible after the operation.

When performing combined plastic surgery and blepharoplasty during canthoplasty in Iran – it is possible to use one incision for both interventions.

canthoplasty in Iran is much more beneficial in terms of the cost of the operation and in terms of reducing the risk of possible postoperative complications.

Having completed the section, the canthoplasty in Iran gets to the tendon, stretches it, and fixes it on the bone tissue of the outer corner of the eye. After that, stitches and a disinfecting bandage are applied.

At the same time after canthoplasty in Iran, the skin of the lower eyelid is tightened. This allows, lifting the outer corners of the eyelids, to save a person from a constantly sad expression.

Before & After Photos of cat eye surgery

Canthoplasty in Iran is an operation to change the shape of the eyes. Women over 40 years of age are most often treated for this operation – with age, the skin around the eyes loses its elasticity and often sags. Canthoplasty also helps to change the rounded shape of the eye to an almond-shaped one.

Canthoplasty among celebrities

The younger generation of show business stars became interested in Canthoplasty. They are increasingly doing “cat eye surgery” and “ponytail” – the name of the most popular procedures. The twenty-year-old beauties themselves claim that they have never turned to the services of surgeons, but only emphasize what is given by nature, hard training, and a healthy lifestyle. But plastic surgeons are sure about how stars deceive fans and how much it costs to become one step closer to celebrities.

They want to look perfect on their Instagram and are very afraid that they will be criticized for imperfect facial features or body proportions.

The raised corners of the eyes of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid are “not just good makeup. Both girls underwent eyelid lift surgery, which in plastic surgery is called canthoplasty or “cat eyes”.

With this operation, the tilt of the eye is changed, and the eye itself becomes a little larger. Often this operation is combined with a surgical brow lift to make the eyes even wider and look brighter.

The clinic you choose for this surgery, the surgeon you consider for canthoplasty in Iran, the care required after the operation, such as the use of special drugs, as well as the cost of the equipment used during the operation, are all factors that affect the cost of the operation.

Result of cat eye surgery

After the canthoplasty in Iran, there is a slight swelling of the eyes, possibly an accumulation of blood in the form of hematomas. However, the recovery period is very short: usually after a week, patients can return to their previous work. Pain is minimal and can be relieved with painkillers. The thin skin around the eyes has its advantages: it heals much faster than other types of tissue. Therefore, most patients do not experience long-term discomfort after cat eye surgery. The scar stretches along the natural fold of the eyelid, so the traces of the operation are almost invisible.

After canthoplasty in Iran, the postoperative suture may subsequently disappear almost completely. In any case, it is invisible in the natural crease of the eyelid.

The result can be observed immediately after the swelling subsides. The effect of canthoplasty in Iran can last more than 10 years.

Our clinics are equipped with the latest equipment that plastic surgeons have mastered to perfection. That is why the recovery period is minimal after canthoplasty in Iran, and the operational traces are completely invisible. Also, a disputable plus is the complete confidentiality of each patient.

It must be understood that in the case of various plastic manipulations, the qualification of a doctor is very important. In Iran, strict quality control is carried out, especially with patients from abroad.

Performing canthoplasty in Iran guarantees patients a positive result and the safety of correction. The operation is performed by highly qualified surgeons with extensive experience.

Who is a good candidate for canthoplasty?

The eyelids protect the eyes by closing them and act as a natural barrier against any foreign material. Blinking moistens the eyes.

Improper position of the eyelid can damage the eyes, and improper functioning of the eyelid can make it difficult to see. Canthoplasty may be considered necessary when there are:

• Droopy eyelids, where the upper eyelid physically droops down, obstructing vision.
• Revision procedure (canthoplasty), to correct misalignment of the eyelid after previous eye surgery.
• Ectropion (a disease in which the lower eyelid turns outward from the eye (.
• Entropion (a condition in which the lower eyelid turns towards the eyeball and causes irritation.)
• An eye injury, paralysis, or hereditary disease that may be causing problems.

Medical, bulging due to myopia, high pressure on the eyeball, eversion of the eyelid and the need to strengthen the muscles of the lower eyelid, narrowing of the palpebral fissure (congenital or acquired due to trauma), partial fusion or shortening of the palpebral fissure (usually after injuries or burns), trachomatous torsion of the eyelids.

By resorting to such a correction as canthoplasty, you can “naturally” raise the corners of the eyes, model the almond shape, and make the eyes more expressive.

Recovery from cat eye surgery

Canthoplasty in Iran is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require a long recovery period. It is a same-day procedure and does not require an overnight stay in the hospital.

Discomfort, swelling, and minimal bruising may be noticed after surgery, but most patients return to social conditions after about a week. Patients need to carefully follow postoperative recommendations to ensure proper healing and achieve aesthetic results.

After surgery, soreness, bruising, and swelling around the eye are common for about 7-10 days. Patients should sleep on their backs, wear glasses instead of contact lenses, and avoid eye strain. They should also avoid exercise, eye rubbing, and wearing makeup.

In some cases, after canthoplasty in Iran, people may notice blurred vision. This change is temporary and will return to normal without any intervention. Patients should avoid watching TV, reading, or watching their phones for long periods. Contact lenses are prohibited for several weeks after the procedure.

Full recovery after canthoplasty in Iran takes approximately two to four weeks. It is important to follow the surgeon’s postoperative instructions and attend scheduled follow-up appointments on time.

After doing a canthoplasty in Iran, it is recommended to sleep on a high pillow and only on your back. After 10 days, to speed up the healing process, you can start physiotherapy and ultrasound. The recovery period takes 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions about Canthoplasty in Iran

1. What is the difference Between Canthoplasty and Blepharoplasty?

Canthoplasty surgery should not be confused with blepharoplasty, which is another form of eyelid plastic surgery. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, muscle, and possibly fat from the lower or upper eyelid to make the eye appear younger, although the operation does not change the shape or size of the eye. Canthoplasty, on the other hand, is a cosmetic surgery technique that lifts the outer corner of the eye, reshapes the eye to a more almond-shaped shape, and enlarges the palpebral fissure. As a result, the eyes appear brighter and larger.
