Canthoplasty Recovery 

You will need to rest for about 24 hours following the canthoplasty treatment. Some patients resume normal activities or work about three days after the procedure. 

To speed up your recovery, you must follow the surgeon's recommendations before, during, and after the procedure.

Expect swelling, soreness, and bruising after the cat eye surgery. However, they should subside in a week. To avoid soreness, keep your head elevated and rest as much as possible. You should avoid exercising, rubbing the operation area, and not applying makeup for at least a week. 

You may notice eyesight alteration, but these symptoms will last for a week, with normal vision returning without medical attention. 

How is Cat Eye Procedure Performed?

The doctor will examine your eye and take various measurements depending on your expectations. 

At the start of the procedure, the surgeon will administer general anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure. You may request the doctor to use a particular anesthesia to be comfortable throughout the procedure. 

They will make several incisions to temporarily detach the tendon (the connective tissue that supports the lower eyelid), called the lateral canthal tendon. The surgeon will shorten and reattach the tendon, leading to desired cat-eye appearance. 

The procedure takes approximately 2 hours, depending on the patient's condition and expected results. After completing the procedure, the surgeon will close the incisions.
