How is Almond Eye Surgery Performed?
For almond eye surgery, the plastic surgeon and the patient first have a comprehensive interview. During this interview, the plastic surgeon learns the general health status of the patient. In addition, the plastic surgeon decides how the surgery should proceed according to the patient’s current eye shape and informs the patient about the results to be obtained. The patient informs the plastic surgeon about the extreme health problems and expectations from the surgery, if any, and ensures that the process progresses more accurately.
Almond eye surgery can be performed using local or general anesthesia depending on the situation. After anesthesia is applied, small incisions are made on the outside of the patient’s eyes. Through these incisions, the tissues around the patient’s eyes are pulled upwards using medical thread. In this way, a more slanted and almond-like eye shape is obtained. The incisions made during the operation are closed with aesthetic sutures.

This destruction can become much worse as a result of eye rubbing. Eye rubbing should be avoided after almond eye surgery.
Avoiding Touching Water to the Eye Area
After almond eye surgery, stitches are applied to the corners of the eye. This stitch should not come into contact with water. Therefore, you should avoid contacting the eye area with anything, including water, for at least 1-2 days after almond eye surgery. Otherwise, there may be problematic situations such as inflammation of the stitches.
