What Is Cat Eye Surgery (Cantoplasty)?

Cat eye surgery, or cantoplasty, is a specialised procedure that adjusts the lateral canthus (the outer corner of the eye). During cantoplasty, the surgeon lifts, tightens, and reshapes the tendons that support the eyelid, creating the elegant upward tilt associated with cat-like eyes. Unlike temporary fillers or threads, cat eye surgery offers long-lasting structural improvement through surgical reshaping.

This form of eye surgery is ideal for patients seeking a permanent enhancement of eye symmetry. Cantoplasty can also be combined with eye bag removal, eyelid lifts, or other rejuvenating eye surgery procedures for a complete transformation.

Benefits of Cat Eye Surgery (Cantoplasty)

Choosing cat eye surgery provides several aesthetic and functional advantages:

Creates almond-shaped eyes through precise cantoplasty techniques
Lifts drooping outer corners for a youthful look
Enhances eye symmetry using advanced eye surgery methods
Provides long-lasting results compared to non-surgical lifts
Improves lower eyelid support, preventing sagging
Complements other procedures like eye bag removal and eyelid lifts
Reduces tired or sad appearance caused by downward-tilting eyelids

Many patients choose cat eye surgery because it delivers a subtle yet striking enhancement with natural-looking results.

Who Are the Best Candidates?

You may be a suitable candidate for cat eye surgery or cantoplasty if you:

Desire permanently lifted the outer eyelids
Prefer the elongated shape created through cat eye surgery.
Have drooping eyelid corners that need structural support
Want a more defined and youthful gaze.
Are in good health and understand the goals of eye surgery
Wish to combine cantoplasty with eye bag removal.

Patients with naturally round eyes or downwardly turned outer corners often benefit most from cantoplasty, as it enhances definition and balance.

How the Procedure Works

During cat eye surgery, the surgeon gently tightens and repositions the lateral canthal tendon. This cantoplasty technique lifts the eyelid and establishes a more elongated eye shape. Because cat eye surgery is a structural eye surgery, the results are long-lasting and stable.

Local anaesthesia is commonly used, and downtime after cantoplasty is minimal. Most patients return to daily routines within one week, while the refined results of cat eye surgery become more visible as swelling decreases.
