Frequently Asked Questions
What is cat eye surgery?
Cat eye surgery is a customized combination of eye procedures designed to create a slightly lifted, elongated outer eye appearance.
Is cat eye surgery a single procedure?
No. It often combines lateral canthoplasty, canthopexy, lower canthoplasty, double eyelid surgery, or ptosis correction depending on the patient's anatomy.
What is the difference between cat eye surgery and fox eye surgery?
Both aim to create a lifted eye appearance. Cat eye surgery generally emphasizes a naturally elongated, almond-like shape, while fox eye surgery often creates a more pronounced upward lift.
Can cat eye surgery make my eyes look longer?
Yes. By reshaping the outer corners of the eyes, the procedure can create a longer, more elegant eye contour.
Will my eyes look unnatural?
No. Dr. Ahn Sung Min carefully customizes every procedure to maintain natural facial harmony and avoid an over-pulled appearance.
Can cat eye surgery improve eye symmetry?
Yes. The surgery can improve asymmetry while creating a more balanced eye shape.
Is cat eye surgery combined with double eyelid surgery?
Yes. Many patients combine both procedures for comprehensive eye enhancement.
How long is recovery?
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks, while the eye shape continues to refine over several months.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are carefully placed within the natural eyelid and outer eye contours, and scars generally become much less noticeable over time.
Can international patients receive an online consultation?
Yes. International patients can submit photographs and medical information for a preliminary evaluation before visiting Korea.
How long should international patients stay in Korea?
The recommended stay depends on the combination of procedures performed and the required follow-up schedule.
Can cat eye surgery be performed as revision surgery?
Yes. In selected cases, revision surgery can improve eye shape, asymmetry, or previous surgical results while preserving normal eyelid function.
