Almond eye aesthetics refers to surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to create a lifted, elongated, and slightly upturned eye shape—often called the almond or cat eye look. The goal is to achieve an attractive, youthful gaze by enhancing the natural contour of the eyes and correcting sagging or asymmetry.
It’s especially popular among those seeking a more defined, alert, and balanced eye area—without changing their natural identity.
To lift drooping or tired-looking outer corners
To elongate and define the eye shape (cat-eye effect)
To create facial harmony and symmetry
To rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelid area
To correct downward-sloping eyes due to aging or genetics
To feel more confident and refreshed without overdone results
You may be a good candidate for almond eye aesthetics if you:
Are in good health and over 18
Have drooping outer corners, hooded eyelids, or asymmetry
Desire a lifted, more defined eye contour
Want to reduce a tired or aged appearance around the eyes
Have realistic expectations about the outcome
Are a non-smoker or willing to quit temporarily
Canthoplasty is a surgical technique that tightens and lifts the outer corner of the eyelid by adjusting the lateral canthal tendon. This provides a more almond-shaped eye appearance.
Long-lasting effect
Rejuvenates the eye area
Can be combined with blepharoplasty or brow lift
A less invasive alternative to canthoplasty that stabilizes the outer eye corner without fully cutting the tendon.
Mild drooping
Younger patients
Patients not ready for full surgery
Upper or lower eyelid surgery can be combined with almond eye procedures to remove excess skin, reduce puffiness, and refresh the eye contour.

Patients seeking subtle enhancement
Temporary lifting without surgery
Younger patients or first-time aesthetics patients

No. A properly performed almond eye procedure subtly enhances your existing shape—it doesn’t drastically change your identity. The goal is to refresh, not reinvent.
Canthoplasty is more invasive and permanent, ideal for strong lifting or structural correction. Canthopexy is less invasive, offering temporary or subtle support.
No. Thread lifts typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on your skin and lifestyle. However, they can be repeated to maintain results.
Yes. Almond eye aesthetics are often combined with blepharoplasty, brow lift, jawline contouring, or cheek filler for a complete mid-face transformation.
No. Men also benefit from these procedures—especially to correct sagging eyelids or tired eyes—while preserving masculine features
Surgical procedures involve tiny incisions that are typically hidden in the eyelid’s natural creases. They heal well and become almost invisible over time.
Surgical results are long-lasting to permanent. Non-surgical results typically last 6 to 12 months and can be maintained with periodic touch-ups.
Surgical procedures are done under local or general anesthesia. Post-op discomfort is mild and well-managed with medication. Non-surgical treatments may cause tightness or slight pressure but no real pain.
