Is Almond Eye Surgery Risky or Safe?
Almond eye surgery (canthoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that lifts the outer corners of the eyes upward, creating a more youthful and attractive appearance.
So, is this procedure risky or considered safe? The answer depends on who performs the operation, under what conditions, and using which technique.
When almond eye surgery is performed by an experienced oculoplastic specialist using the proper technique in sterile surgical conditions, it is regarded as a highly safe procedure with consistently successful results.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
As with any surgery, there are minimal risks. However, with correct patient selection, thorough pre-operative evaluation, and a skilled surgical approach, these risks can be reduced to almost zero.
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Mild stinging sensation
- Short-term asymmetry
These effects are typically part of the natural healing process and subside within a short time. Rare complications can largely be prevented with accurate planning and precise surgical techniques.
Why It’s Considered Safe
During the procedure, the inner structures of the eye are not touched. Only the outer connective tissues are reshaped, making almond eye surgery a safer, more controlled, and more comfortable option compared to some other eye-area procedures.
