What Is Almond Eye Surgery?
Almond eye surgery reshapes and repositions the lower eyelid, creating a gently sloping contour that accentuates the natural almond shape of the eyes. This procedure is often sought to:
Lift sagging lower eyelids.
Improve symmetry and balance between the upper and lower eyelids.
Enhance the overall shape and elongation of the eyes.
This procedure can be performed as a standalone surgery or combined with other procedures like blepharoplasty or a brow lift for comprehensive eye rejuvenation.
Who Is a Candidate for Almond Eye Surgery?
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have downward-sloping or sagging lower eyelids.
Desire a more elongated, almond-shaped appearance for your eyes.
Are seeking to rejuvenate your eyes while maintaining a natural look.
Are in good health and have realistic expectations for the procedure.
