Typical ranges for almond eye surgery; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is almond eye surgery?
Almond eye surgery reshapes the corners and lower lid of the eye to produce a longer, gently tapered almond contour. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon using medial, lateral or lower canthoplasty.
Round eyes show more of the white below the iris, and a low outer corner can look tired. By adjusting the inner corner, the outer corner and the lower-lid position, the visible eye becomes longer and more balanced. Which corners are treated depends on your starting shape.
Who is almond eye surgery for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Round eyes or visible white beneath the iris
- Outer corners that sit lower than the inner corners
- Eyes that look short in relation to the face
- People wanting a balanced, elongated shape rather than a dramatic slant
