Cat eye or fox eye surgery gives the outer corner of the eye a subtle lift for an almond-shaped, refreshed look. Because the outer corner also supports the lower eyelid, a careful assessment matters more than the trend. This New City Clinic guide explains the cost, the options and the recovery.
How much does cat eye surgery cost in Istanbul?
The estimated package price for cat eye surgery at New City Clinic in Istanbul is €3,000. It covers the procedure in a licensed facility, the hospital stay where needed, hotel accommodation and airport transfers; pre-operative tests, coordination and interpreting are included according to the package. Flights are not included. The final written quote follows a free assessment of your photos, reports or images by a physician.
Canthopexy, canthoplasty or temple lift?
Canthopexy secures the outer corner slightly higher without cutting the eyelid tendon; canthoplasty repositions the tendon for a more noticeable change; a temple lift raises the tail of the brow through a small incision in the hairline. The surgeon chooses after checking eyelid tone and eye dryness, and plans the change conservatively.
Surgery or threads?
Thread lifts are temporary. Surgical repositioning lasts much longer, although the face keeps ageing naturally. The procedure takes about 1–2 hours and you usually go back to the hotel the same day.
What to check before booking
Ask for the name of the hospital and check that it is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, the full name and specialty of the doctor, and a written quote that lists hospital, doctor, tests, nights in hospital and hotel, transfers and interpreter. Be cautious with offers that cannot name the hospital, promise guaranteed results or ask for a deposit before a physician has seen your case.
Travelling from the UK
Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and other UK airports take around four hours. Plan about 5–7 days in Istanbul so that your doctor can check you before the flight. You receive your reports in English for your GP, and a New City Clinic coordinator follows your recovery remotely once you are home.
