What is Fox Eye Lift (Canthoplasty)?
Beauty is an important concept that people have considered very important from the earliest times to the present day, which differs from geography to geography but has some common features and criteria. Eye beauty is the most important one among these common criteria. It is a general opinion that having attractive eyes is an indispensable criterion of being a beautiful woman or a handsome man.
Fox eye lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to make the eyes look bigger and more slanted and make the face look younger and more dynamic by lifting the lower and upper eyelids with surgical and non-surgical medical interventions. This procedure that has become popular in recent years after being preferred by the world-renowned Hollywood celebrities is also known as “Cat eyes, Bella eyes and Almond eyes”. The shape called fox eye that is generally tried to be achieved with cosmetic products is also achieved permanently with this surgical procedure.
How is a Fox Eye Lift (Canthoplasty) Operation Performed?
Today, with the development of different surgical techniques in the field of plastic and aesthetic surgery, interventions intended to reshape the eyes have become among the most popular aesthetic procedures. Fox eye lift can be performed with a surgical or non-surgical intervention, depending on the anatomical structure of the patient’s eye.
The surgical fox eye lift procedure is performed under local anesthesia to anesthetize the surgical site. No pain is felt during the operation. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Minimal incisions are made in the scalp, and then the ligaments at the outer edges of the eyes are pulled up through these incisions and are fixed on the bones in the incision sites. As a result, the eyes look more slanted and become more noticeable. The procedure lives no scar because it involves minimal incisions and sutures hidden in the scalp.
The non-surgical fox eye lift procedure, on the other hand, is performed with a technique called “Fox Eye Thread lift or French Suspension”. This procedure involves no incision. After the medical threads are placed around the eyes subcutaneously, the outer corners of the eyes ares lifted pulling the threads, in such a way as to achieve fox eye look, and then the threads are fixed on suitable points around the eyes. The fox eye thread lift (thread suspension) procedure that takes about 30 to 45 minutes does not prevent facial expressions and the permanence of its results lasts many years.
