The eyes are one of the most important elements that define the aesthetic expression of the face. The shape of the gaze reflects a person’s character, energy, and emotions. However, over time, factors such as gravity, genetics, stress, lack of sleep, and aging may cause drooping at the outer corners of the eyes. This can make the face appear tired, sad, or expressionless.

In recent years, one of the most preferred aesthetic procedures to correct this appearance and create a more attractive and dynamic gaze has been almond eye aesthetic surgery. In 2025, almond eye surgery continues to be among the most popular facial rejuvenation procedures, performed both surgically and with thread-lifting techniques.

Eye aesthetics specialist Op. Dr. Diclehan emphasizes the importance of personalized planning and states:“Almond eye surgery is not merely an aesthetic procedure; it is an art that restructures facial balance and enhances natural beauty.”

What Is Almond Eye Aesthetic Surgery?

Almond eye surgery is a cosmetic procedure in which the outer corner of the eye is gently lifted to give the eyes an almond-shaped appearance — a shape considered youthful and dynamic in facial aesthetics.

According to Dr. Diclehan:“Correctly lifting the outer canthus at the right angle affects the entire facial proportion. The goal is not exaggerated lift — it is natural vitality.”

Who Is Suitable for Almond Eye Surgery?

The procedure is suitable for both men and women, especially for those who have:

• Drooping outer eye corners
• Asymmetric eye structure
• A tired or dull expression
• Naturally low-set outer eyelids
• Desire for more defined eye shape

Personalized planning prevents an artificial appearance and preserves natural beauty.

How Is Almond Eye Surgery Performed?

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes 30–45 minutes. A small incision is made at the outer corner of the eye, and the outer ligament is gently lifted and fixed in an upward position. The incision is closed with aesthetic sutures so scars are barely noticeable. Patients usually return to normal activity within a few days.
