Almond Eye Surgery
Almond eye surgery, also known as "fox eye" surgery, has become increasingly popular. However, it's crucial to approach this procedure with a well-informed perspective beyond just chasing the latest trend.
- Canthoplasty: Core procedure that lifts the outer corners of both the upper and lower eyelids, creating the upward tilt and elongated appearance.
- Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): Removes excess skin and/or fat from the upper eyelids, further enhancing definition and potentially improving vision.
- Brow lift: Elevates the position of the brows, contributing to the overall upward tilt and youthful look.
- Temporal lift: In some cases, this procedure may be used to address concerns in the temple area that can contribute to the overall look.
It's important to acknowledge that achieving a true "almond eye" shape often requires multiple procedures, not just isolated canthoplasty. Combining these procedures can offer more:
- Satisfactory and lasting results : Addressing various aspects of the eye and brow region can create a more harmonious and long-lasting outcome.
- Improved functionality: In some cases, addressing concerns like drooping eyelids can benefit both aesthetics and vision.
Cautious Considerations
While the pursuit of aesthetic improvement is understandable, it's vital to approach this surgery with caution:
- Trend-driven decisions: Basing your decision solely on a trend without considering potential risks and long-term consequences is discouraged.
- Realistic Expectations: Open communication with Dr Varsak is crucial to understand the limitations and potential complications involved. Chasing an idealized image may lead to dissatisfaction with the results.
Surgical Considerations
- Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia due to its complexity.
- Individualized Approach: Every patient's facial anatomy and desired outcome differ. Dr Varsak will tailor the procedure combination to achieve natural-looking results that complement the individual's unique features.
