Cat Eye Surgery

What is Cat Eye Surgery?

Cat Eye Surgery is a modern aesthetic procedure that gives the eyes a more slanted, youthful, and dynamic appearance. Over time, aging, gravity, and genetic factors can cause drooping of the eyelids, sagging at the corners of the eyes, and a tired expression. With cat eye surgery, the eyes are repositioned upwards, achieving a more attractive and lively look.

This procedure is based on the principle of slightly lifting the outer corner of the eye upwards and sideways. With the technique performed by Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal, the natural lines of the eyes are preserved while achieving a subtle lift that is in harmony with the facial structure. This allows the patient to achieve a younger and more energetic appearance.

Why Is Cat Eye Surgery Needed?

The eyes are one of the most important elements of facial expression. Over time, the loosening of tissues around the eyes, drooping eyelids, or naturally low-angled eyes can make a person look constantly tired, sad, or older.

In some individuals, the eye structure is naturally more rounded or downward-sloping. This can be bothersome for those who desire a more slanted and dynamic appearance. Cat eye surgery corrects this by giving the eyes a lifted look while also eliminating tiredness around the eyes, adding vibrancy to the facial expression.

How Does the Face Look After Cat Eye Surgery?

After the surgery, the outer corners of the eyes are positioned at a more dynamic upward angle. This change gives the person a younger, more energetic, and dynamic facial expression. The eyes appear larger and livelier, and the tired, droopy look around the eyes disappears completely.

The main goal of the technique used by Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal is to preserve the natural anatomy of the eyes while achieving a result that is harmonious with the other facial structures. Therefore, the eyes never look artificial or overly pulled after the procedure. On the contrary, the result is a natural and aesthetic form that best suits the person’s facial features.

The Importance of Doctor Selection in Cat Eye Surgery

Eye aesthetics is one of the most sensitive and attention-grabbing areas of the face. If the eye structure is not correctly analyzed and the right technique is not applied, the procedure can result in an unnatural appearance and disrupt the person’s natural expression.

This is why doctor selection is critically important in cat eye surgery. Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal conducts a thorough analysis of the eye area and the balance of facial aesthetics, creating a personalized plan for each patient. This approach ensures natural, balanced, and aesthetic results.

Which Procedures Can Be Combined with Cat Eye Surgery?

Cat eye surgery is often planned together with other facial rejuvenation or contour enhancement procedures. One of the most common combinations is endoscopic brow lift surgery. This is because drooping brows and sagging around the eyes often occur together, and combining these procedures results in a more balanced and youthful look.

Additionally, with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), excess skin and puffiness around the eyes are removed, while cat eye surgery gives the eyes a more slanted appearance. When combined with mid-face lift, chin implant, double chin liposuction, and facial fat injection, a more symmetrical, youthful, and aesthetic overall facial result is achieved.

Preoperative Planning Process

A detailed analysis of the eyes and face is performed before cat eye surgery. The eye structure, outer eye angle, skin quality around the eyes, and overall facial symmetry are evaluated. Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal carefully listens to the patient’s expectations and determines the most suitable angle for their eye shape and facial structure.

During this planning process, details such as what the postoperative appearance will be, how much lift will be achieved, and the recovery timeline are fully explained. This way, the patient knows exactly what to expect and can confidently prepare for the procedure.

How Is Cat Eye Surgery Performed?

The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation and lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour. During the procedure, a small incision is made either within the hairline or hidden in the natural folds around the eye to lift the outer corner of the eye upwards.

Using special suspension techniques, the outer corners of the eyes are repositioned upwards and slightly sideways. This creates a more dynamic and attractive eye shape. Because the incisions are very small, there is no visible scarring after healing.

Factors Affecting Cat Eye Surgery Prices

The price of cat eye surgery varies depending on the surgeon’s experience, the technique used, whether other procedures are performed together, and the equipment of the hospital. Especially when combined with procedures like endoscopic brow lift, eyelid surgery, mid-face lift, or facial fat injection, the pricing becomes personalized.

Since each patient’s eye structure, skin elasticity, and expectations are different, a precise price can only be determined after a detailed consultation and planning.

Recovery Process After Cat Eye Surgery

The recovery process is generally quick and comfortable. Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness around the eyes may be experienced in the first few days. These effects usually diminish significantly within a week.

Stitches are typically removed within 5 to 7 days. The healing process is supported by special taping or cold compresses. Once the swelling around the eyes has completely subsided, the eyes appear more lifted, younger, and livelier.

Final results become clear within a few weeks, and the new eye shape fully adapts to the natural facial structure. Op. Dr. Yusuf Orhan Uçal closely monitors the postoperative process to ensure his patients recover safely and confidently.
