Who it's for

Who Each One Is Actually For

The question is not which is better. It is which is right for you.

Cat Eye Lift (Canthopexy) Suits You If…

The outer corner of the eye — and that is the thing you want changed. Your consultation confirms whether your anatomy supports it.

Brow Lift Suits You If…

The eyebrow and forehead. There are patients for whom this is the better answer, and we will say so.

Sometimes It Is Both

Combining is common and often costs less than doing the two separately, because they share a facility and an anesthetic.

Sometimes It Is Neither

If neither fits what you want changed, a surgeon telling you that is worth more than one booking you in.
