The eyes are undoubtedly the most striking part of the face. The shape and position of the eyes directly affect a person’s overall facial expression. Over time, due to aging, gravity, genetic factors, and stress, the outer corners of the eyes may begin to droop. This creates a tired and sometimes sad facial expression.
In recent years, almond eye surgery has become one of the most popular aesthetic procedures, helping to lift the outer corners of the eyes and create a more attractive, dynamic, and youthful gaze.
Eye aesthetics and facial anatomy specialist Op. Dr. Diclehan explains:
“Almond eye aesthetics is not just a reshaping procedure it is also a way of restoring the overall balance of the face.”
Therefore, the surgery must be planned individually in order to achieve natural results.
Almond eye surgery is a surgical procedure that lifts the outer corner of the eye slightly upward, creating a more slanted, youthful, and lively gaze.
The name comes from the aesthetically ideal almond-shaped eye, which is considered harmonious with the golden ratio — softening facial lines and creating symmetry.
Op. Dr. Diclehan describes the goal as follows
“The aim is to achieve a natural lift that matches the patient’s facial proportions. Over-lifted eyes look artificial — balance is everything.”
Almond eye surgery can be performed on both men and women.
It is especially suitable for people whose outer eye corners droop genetically or due to aging.
It is recommended in the following situations
Op. Dr. Diclehan emphasizes that every face is anatomically unique therefore the procedure should always be personalized.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes around 30–45 minutes.
The outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) is carefully lifted and secured using a specialized technique. Incisions are placed along the natural eyelid crease to keep them invisible.
Op. Dr. Diclehan summarizes the steps
Patients are usually discharged the same day and can return to daily life shortly afterward.
Recovery is generally comfortable. Mild swelling and edema during the first 2–3 days are normal. Cold compresses help speed recovery.
Postoperative advice from Op. Dr. Diclehan:
Most patients achieve a natural appearance within two weeks.
As of 2025, almond eye aesthetics can be performed using both traditional and modern lifting methods.
A small incision is made at the eye corner and the tissue is lifted.
This method provides long-lasting (8–10 years) results.
Medical threads are inserted under the skin to lift the outer eye corner.
The procedure takes 20–30 minutes and does not require stitches, but results last 1–2 years.
Op. Dr. Diclehan selects the technique according to the patient’s expectations and anatomy.
The procedure significantly enhances facial expression
Psychologically, many patients report increased confidence and a more positive self-image.
Longevity depends on the method
Results last longer with:
After surgery, the gaze becomes more lifted, dynamic, and youthful — without looking artificial when performed correctly.
According to Op. Dr. Diclehan, one of the most frequent patient comments is:
“I now look more energetic and alive.”
In 2025, almond eye surgery costs vary depending on:
He emphasizes that safety and natural results should always take priority over price.

Who is not suitable?

It can be performed using both surgical and non-surgical methods, delivering natural-looking results in a short time.

With extensive expertise, Op. Dr. Diclehan plans each procedure individually ensuring both aesthetic and functional success.
This transformation is not only about reshaping the eye — it is about restoring confidence, energy, and self-expression.
