A friend of mine told me that there is a surgery called the "Cat's eye look" that makes eyes look sexy and attractive. Is this true?
Answer: Cat's Eye Blepharoplasty Great question. In fact, this is a question that is frequently raised by prospective patients as something they specifically don't want. What you are describing is an elevation of the outer corner (lateral canthus) of the eye. The lateral canthus is the condensation of muscle fibers that attach the eye muscle to the bone of the orbital rim; this can be elevated and re-attached to create the look you are describing. However, this procedure crosses over from what I describe as rejuvenative to one that is transformative. In other words, it will substantially change the way your eyes look, and in certain circumstances is a hallmark of looking "done" in the plastic surgery sense. Think about these facts and look at photographs of numerous patients before you proceed.

Answer: Cat Eye Surgery Cat eye look surgery is a procedure designed to give the eyes a more exotic appearance. This procedure lifts the outer corner of the eye in an upward direction by utilizing a procedure known as a lateral canthopexy.This procedure can change the appearance of the eye. Whether this look is exotic or unnatural is the subject of some debate. For this reason, it's important that you use extreme caution before proceeding with this type of procedure.

Answer: Cat Eyes Appearance Your question is good, because many patients request procedures that would be harmful or inappropriate to perform. The first job of the physician is to "do no harm." Creating an artificial appearance may sound attractive, but it will only lead to problems. Patients often regret having unusual operations and return to redo those procedures. The best answer is to have a natural eyelid procedure performed by an oculoplastic surgeon with lots of experience. Thank you for sharing the question.

Answer: Eyelid surgery for a "cat's eye" look? Don't do it. It's amazing how little one has to reposition the lateral canthus (the outer corner of the eye) to change the over look of the patient's face. As little as a millimeter or two can be very obvious. However, such repositioning is highly unlikely to give a patient a "sexy" look to the eyes. Far more likely is the chance that it will make the eyes look weird, asymmetrical, or "surgical." We specifically try to avoid that, in fact. I'd be really leery of any surgeon offering such a technique and I'd be very curious to see his/her actual before and after photos of patients who'd had that. All the best, --DCP

Answer: Cat's eye look Hello, Any surgery that is performed should be tailored to that individual and in harmony with their facial structures. Attempting to mimic the appearance of a cat would not be in one's best interest. Thank you, and best of luck. Dr. Nassif
