Almond Eye Aesthetic Surgery

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.

What Is Almond Eye Aesthetic Surgery?

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.”

Who Can Have Almond Eye Surgery?

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

  • Drooping at the outer corners of the eyes
  • Tired or sad expression
  • Asymmetric eye shape
  • Loss of natural eye slant
  • Desire for a more defined and attractive gaze

Op. Dr. Diclehan emphasizes that every face is anatomically unique therefore the procedure should always be personalized.

How Is Almond Eye Surgery Performed?

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

  • Planning: Facial proportions, eye structure, and brow position are assessed
  • Marking: A minimal incision line is designed
  • Suspension: The corner of the eye is anchored to the muscle or periosteum
  • Closure: Aesthetic sutures are used to close the incision

Patients are usually discharged the same day and can return to daily life shortly afterward.

Recovery After Almond Eye Surgery

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:

  • Rest during the first 48 hours
  • Keep the head elevated
  • Stitches are removed within 5–7 days
  • Social life can resume after 7–10 days
  • Avoid makeup and rubbing the eyes
  • Wear sunglasses outdoors

Most patients achieve a natural appearance within two weeks.

Techniques Used in Almond Eye Surgery

As of 2025, almond eye aesthetics can be performed using both traditional and modern lifting methods.

Classical Surgical Technique

A small incision is made at the eye corner and the tissue is lifted.
This method provides long-lasting (8–10 years) results.

Thread Lift Almond Eye Procedure

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.

Advantages of Almond Eye Surgery

The procedure significantly enhances facial expression

  • A younger and more energetic look
  • More defined and symmetrical eyes
  • Natural, lively gaze
  • Long-lasting results (with surgical methods)
  • Short and comfortable recovery

Psychologically, many patients report increased confidence and a more positive self-image.

How Long Do Results Last?

Longevity depends on the method

  • Surgical technique: 8–10 years
  • Thread technique: 1–2 years

Results last longer with:

  • Avoiding smoking
  • Quality sleep
  • UV protection
  • Skin hydration
  • Regular skincare

Appearance After Almond Eye Surgery

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.”

Factors Affecting Cost

In 2025, almond eye surgery costs vary depending on:

  • The chosen technique (thread or surgical)
  • The surgeon’s expertise
  • Quality of materials used
  • Clinical technology and sterilization standards
  • Whether additional procedures are performed (such as brow lift)

He emphasizes that safety and natural results should always take priority over price.

Important Aftercare Recommendations

For fast and comfortable recovery:

  • Do not rub or press the eyes
  • Avoid makeup for the first week
  • Apply cold compresses
  • Wear sunglasses outdoors
  • Avoid face-down sleeping
  • Attend all follow-up appointments

When the process is carefully monitored, complication risk is extremely low.
