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.
