Istanbul / Turkey
The "Cat Eye" look—characterized by an exotic, upward-slanting eye shape and a lifted outer brow—has become one of the most sought-after aesthetic trends in the world. While makeup can temporarily mimic this effect, Cat Eyes Surgery (clinically known as Canthopexy or Canthoplasty) provides a permanent, surgical solution to create a more youthful, energized, and alluring gaze.
At Visit Plus Care, we combine the artistry of facial sculpting with advanced surgical techniques in Istanbul to give you the snatched, lifted eye profile made famous by top models and celebrities.
Cat Eyes Surgery is a specialized aesthetic procedure that focuses on the lateral canthus (the outer corner where the upper and lower eyelids meet). By repositioning this corner slightly upward and outward, our surgeons create an almond-shaped eye that appears more lifted and exotic.
Depending on your facial structure, our experts at Visit Plus Care utilize two primary methods:
A less invasive approach that uses internal sutures to reinforce and lift the outer corner of the eye without cutting the tendon. It is ideal for patients with minor sagging who want a subtle "foxy" lift.
A more transformative procedure where the lateral canthal tendon is repositioned. This is used to correct "droopy" eyes or to create a dramatic change in the eye's tilt.
For the most dramatic results, we often combine Canthoplasty with a Temporal (Endoscopic) Brow Lift. This not only tilts the eye but also lifts the tail of the eyebrow, creating the complete "snatched" aesthetic.
The area around the eyes is extremely delicate. At Visit Plus Care, we work with surgeons who have specialized training in Oculoplastic surgery. This ensures that the surgery not only looks beautiful but also maintains the perfect function and health of your eyelids.
The key to a successful Cat Eye lift is balance. Our surgeons focus on creating symmetry while ensuring the lift is not "over-pulled." We aim for a look that enhances your natural beauty, making you look refreshed and exotic rather than "operated on."
We prioritize discreet results. Incisions are usually made within the natural creases of the eyelid or hidden within the hairline (if combined with a brow lift). Once healed, the signs of surgery are virtually undetectable.
Corrects "Sad" Eyes: Lifts downward-sloping outer corners that can make you look tired or unhappy.
Youthful Refresh: Counteracts the sagging that occurs with age in the periorbital area.
Permanent Aesthetic: Unlike "Thread Lifts" which only last a few months, surgical Cat Eyes provide a long-term transformation.
Enhanced Eye Shape: Creates the coveted almond/fox-like eye shape that brightens the entire face.
Upload your photos for an expert evaluation. Our surgeons will analyze your eye shape and bone structure to recommend the best technique for your desired "lift" intensity.
The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. You can typically return to your hotel the same day.
Days 1-5: You will experience some swelling and minor bruising around the corners of the eyes. We provide specialized cooling packs to speed up recovery.
Day 7: Sutures are removed at our clinic.
The "Reveal": While you will see the lift immediately, the final, refined shape will be visible after 3-4 weeks once the swelling has fully settled.
1. Is Cat Eyes surgery permanent? Yes. Unlike temporary thread lifts, surgical Canthoplasty/Canthopexy provides permanent changes to the eye’s structure.
2. Will there be visible scars? The incisions are tiny and placed in the natural folds of the eyelid. After a few months of healing, they are typically invisible to the naked eye.
3. What is the difference between a Fox Eye Lift and Cat Eyes? These terms are often used interchangeably. However, "Cat Eyes" usually refers specifically to the tilt of the eye corners (Canthoplasty), while "Fox Eyes" often includes the lift of the outer eyebrow (Temporal Brow Lift). At Visit Plus Care, we can do both!
