Almond Eye Surgery
Reshaping the eye to achieve an almond, elongated, refined form through combined canthopexy and periorbital lifting.
Duration
1-2 hours
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia with sedation or general
Result
Stable result, 8-10 years
Overview
The almond eye procedure combines multiple techniques to achieve a feminine, elongated and mysterious eye form. Dr. Mubariz Mammadli uses lateral canthopexy or canthoplasty combined with subtle periorbital lifting to elongate the eye horizontally and slightly elevate the outer corner.
Unlike traditional procedures, the modern approach maintains a natural appearance and avoids forcing the eye to tilt. The result is a rejuvenated, elegantly elongated gaze without an operated look. The procedure is popular with patients who want an eye shape similar to models or actresses with subtle feline features.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between almond eye and Bella Eyes?
Almond eye focuses on horizontal elongation and a slight lift of the outer canthus for a natural feminine look. Bella Eyes accentuates the tilt more strongly for a feline, exotic look.
How much does the almond eye procedure cost?
The price depends on case complexity and combined techniques (canthopexy, canthoplasty, blepharoplasty). The exact cost is provided at consultation, after individualized evaluation.
How long is recovery?
Social activity resumes at 10-14 days. Final shape is visible at 6-8 weeks, after complete swelling resolves.
Can I revert if I don't like the result?
The procedure is partially reversible only during the first 3-6 postoperative months. That's why choosing an experienced surgeon and a conservative technique is essential.
Is the result permanent?
Yes, largely. Canthopexy offers stable results for 8-10 years, after which natural aging may require a minor touch-up.
