Since the beginning of time an elongated gaze, like that of a cat, has been considered a standard of beauty. And today, in an attempt to achieve this lifting effect, women turn to makeup or special patches that pull the skin. In an attempt to achieve this permanent effect, specialists have created a dedicated procedure, called cat eyes.

Being a surgical procedure, the effect is permanent, and the patient can enjoy it in the long term.

Potential patients:

The intervention is addressed to patients who want an elongated appearance of the eyes, with a lifting effect in the area. In the case of patients over 45 years old, doctors also recommend the face lifting procedure, or blepharoplasty for an optimal effect.

Cat eyes is a surgical procedure that involves lifting the eyebrows and elongating the corners of the eyes to achieve a sensual look. After the procedure, the shape of the eyes will be much more accentuated, and the corners of the eyebrows will rise slightly. The final result will be one of brightness and a slight lifting of the area.

The intervention lasts approximately 2 hours, depending on the patient’s needs. The recovery period after the procedure is approximately 10-14 days.

The intervention is not painful. Being an operation in itself, it is performed under anesthesia.

The final effect will be visible after the healing of the area, approximately 14 days after the operation.

You should know that, compared to a minimally invasive procedure, the patient will come for regular check-ups, to ensure the success of the intervention.

We recommend that the patient send us pictures periodically and come to the consultation according to medical recommendations.

Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking.
If you experience discomfort in the area, you can administer the medicines recommended by the doctor.
Do not expose yourself to the sun, solarium or sauna.

Reduce physical activity during the recovery period.

Try not to expose yourself to extreme temperatures and avoid using creams or cosmetic products as recommended.

Is the fox eyes surgical procedure painful?

No, canthopexy is not painful. The intervention is performed under anesthesia, to ensure that the patient enjoys all the comfort during the operation. After the intervention, if necessary, the patient can talk to the specialist doctor, who can recommend an appropriate treatment.

What is the optimal age at which I can opt for the procedure?

Any patient, after the age of 18, can opt for the epicanthoplasty procedure, the procedure that offers an elongated, cat-eye effect. In the case of patients over 35-40 years old, depending on the physiognomy, the procedure can be performed together with other adjacent interventions, for an optimal result.

How soon will I see the results?

The results for the fox eyes intervention start to be visible after about 2 weeks, during which time the area will heal. In any case, the doctor will be with you throughout this period, so you can talk to him at every moment, at every step.
