Cat eyes surgery, which has gained popularity in the world of plastic surgery in recent years, has become the choice of those who want to give their facial features an attractive and exotic appearance. However, the most frequently asked questions about this surgery are whether the procedure affects the eye structure and visual function. In this blog post, we will discuss the anatomical and functional effects of cat eyes surgery, the possible risks and the things to consider for a safe operation.
What is Cat Eyes Surgery and How Is It Performed?
Cat eyes surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure that aims to give the eye area a more slanted and lifted appearance. In this procedure, the outer corners of the eyes are pulled upwards and facial features become more prominent.
Cat eyes surgery can be performed with several different techniques:
- Suspension Method: It is a minimally invasive method. Using special threads, the tissue around the eyes is lifted upwards.
- Surgical Method: It is preferred when a permanent result is aimed. The skin and connective tissue around the eyes are reshaped.
- Endoscopic Techniques: This method, which is a more modern approach, intervenes with small incisions and ensures that the scars remain at a minimum level.
- The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia and the procedure usually takes 1-2 hours.
How Does Cat Eyes Surgery Affect Eye Structure?
The effects of cat eyes surgery should be evaluated both aesthetically and anatomically.
Anatomical Changes
This surgery makes certain adjustments to the skin, muscle and connective tissue around the eyes, allowing the outer corners of the eyes to be pulled upwards. After the procedure
Slanted appearance of the eyes,
A slight elevation of the outer parts of the eyebrows,
Thinning or prominence may occur along the lower eyelid line.
These changes are usually aimed at a natural appearance and, depending on the surgeon's expertise, provide aesthetically satisfying results.
Permanence
While the procedures performed with the suspension method are usually effective between 1-3 years, the results obtained with surgical methods are permanent. However, the aging process and skin elasticity can change this appearance over time.
Effects on Visual Function
Although cat eyes surgery changes the aesthetic appearance of the eye, it has no direct effect on visual function. During the procedure, only the skin and connective tissues around the eye are treated; therefore, the eyeball or vision is not damaged.
Possible Risks
As with any surgical procedure, there may be some risks in cat eyes surgery:
- Temporary Swelling and Bruising: Short-term swelling and discoloration around the eyes may occur after surgery.
- Irritation or Tension: A slight feeling of tightness around the eye area after the procedure is normal, but this usually resolves within a few weeks.
- Rare Complications: Serious complications such as asymmetry, infection or nerve damage can occur in procedures performed by non-specialists.
- The experience of the surgeon and the accuracy of the techniques used are of great importance to minimize these risks.
