Almond Eye Aesthetics

Almond eye aesthetics (Canthoplasty) is the process of giving a tired and sagging eye structure a more vibrant, slanted, and energetic appearance. This operation, which recovers the looseness in the lower eyelid, carries the outer corner of the eye (canthus) slightly upwards. Applied by Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan, this aesthetic touch erases the tired expression caused by stress and aging, adding a young and dynamic effect to your look.

Almond Eye Surgery Process with Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan

Almond eye surgery is a very comfortable procedure that takes an average of 30-45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. You do not need to stay in the hospital; you can return home on the same day.
In the surgery, the ligaments at the outer edge of the eye are hung upwards and outwards with special techniques. A millimetric incision is made at the corner of the eye. However, thanks to Dr. Görkem Çalışkan’s special aesthetic stitching techniques, this small scar completely blends in with your skin color and disappears within 3 months.

Are Field of Vision and Mimics Affected?

Almond eye surgery absolutely does not disrupt your visual function or the natural mimics on your face. The operation only shapes the outer edge of the eyelids.
However, making the eye excessively slanted can narrow the field of vision. For this reason, in the surgery planning, Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan calculates the safest and most natural slant ratio that best suits your facial features. As a result, you will have much more impressive looks without experiencing loss of mimics.

Post-Surgery Recovery and Return to Social Life

You will be discharged immediately after the procedure. With the ice application recommended by your doctor in the first days, we minimize any slight swelling and bruising that may occur.
This situation usually passes within 3-5 days, and you can quickly return to your social life. It takes an average of 30-45 days for the edemas around the eyes to completely subside and for that impressive, slanted “almond” form to fully settle and take its final shape.
