The average Cat Eye Surgery Turkey Price 2026 offers a specialized pathway for patients seeking the coveted “Almond Eye” or “Bella Hadid” aesthetic without the exorbitant costs found in the US or UK. This procedure aims to lift and lengthen the outer corner of the eye, creating an exotic, upward tilt; however, achieving this look requires a surgeon who deeply understands ocular health to prevent functional complications.
Surgery (Canthoplasty) vs. Fox Eye Threads: Which is Right?
There is often confusion between surgical and non-surgical methods for altering eye shape. It is vital to distinguish between the two:
- Canthoplasty (Surgical Cat Eye): This is a permanent surgical procedure where the Lateral Canthal Tendon at the outer corner of the eye is tightened, lifted, and secured to the orbital rim. This physically changes the “Canthal Tilt” from neutral or negative (downturned) to positive (upturned).
- Fox Eye Threads (Non-Surgical): This involves inserting PDO or Silhouette threads under the skin to pull the brow and eye corner upward. While popular on social media, the results are temporary (lasting 6-12 months). There is also a risk of the threads snapping or causing visible dimpling/puckering of the skin.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning (Dry Eye Risk)
The goal of Cat Eye surgery is a subtle tilt, not an ‘alien’ distortion. Aggressive over-correction can damage the eye’s ability to close fully (Lagophthalmos), leading to severe, chronic Dry Eye Syndrome. At Clinic Care Center, we perform a ‘functional lift.’ We ensure the lower eyelid maintains contact with the eyeball to protect your vision, prioritizing eye health over extreme aesthetic trends.

What is Included & The “Chemosis” Reality
Our comprehensive medical packages are designed to ensure your safety and comfort. Standard inclusions cover:
- Operating theater fees and Local/Sedation Anesthesia.
- 3 nights in a 4-Star or 5-Star Hotel.
- VIP Transfers (Airport, Hotel, Clinic).
- Pre-operative blood tests and post-op medication.
However, honesty about recovery is essential. Patients must be prepared for Chemosis—a temporary condition where the white part of the eye (sclera) swells and looks like a jelly blister. This is common after Canthoplasty and resolves in 2-3 weeks with the prescribed eye drops included in your package.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I have visible scars?
The incision for Canthoplasty is typically very small (about 1cm) and is placed within the natural horizontal crease at the outer corner of the eye. Once healed, this scar blends into the natural laugh lines (crow’s feet) and is difficult to see.
Can I change my eye shape back?
Surgical Canthoplasty is difficult to reverse. It involves cutting and re-anchoring a tendon. While revision surgery is possible, it is complex. This is why we advise patients to be absolutely certain about the permanent change, unlike Threads which dissolve naturally.
Does this surgery affect my vision?
The surgery itself does not touch the eyeball or optic nerve, so it does not change your eyesight. However, during the first few days of recovery, your vision may be slightly blurry due to the protective antibiotic ointment we apply to the eyes.
Can I combine Cat Eye with a Facelift?
Yes, this is a very common combination. A Facelift addresses the lower face and neck, while Cat Eye surgery addresses the upper face. Doing them together provides a complete, harmonious rejuvenation.
Is general anesthesia required?
Not usually. Most isolated Cat Eye surgeries are performed under Local Anesthesia with Sedation (Twilight Anesthesia). You are relaxed and sleepy but breathing on your own. General Anesthesia is only required if you combine it with larger procedures like a full Facelift.
What is the difference between Almond Eye and Cat Eye?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a nuance. “Almond Eye” surgery usually focuses on lowering the bottom lid slightly while lifting the corner to creating a wider, almond shape. “Cat Eye” surgery focuses specifically on lifting the outer corner aggressively for a slanted look.
