What is Fox Eye Lift?

The fox eye lift creates an elongated, lifted appearance to the outer corners of the eyes—the coveted almond-shaped, upswept look. This can be achieved through minimally invasive PDO threads, strategic Botox, or surgical canthoplasty for permanent results.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Start with non-surgical options like threads or Botox if you're unsure. You can always progress to surgical canthoplasty later if you want permanent results. It's easier to add more lift than to undo too much.

⚠️ Insider Note: The fox eye look isn't for everyone. Consider your natural eye shape and facial proportions carefully. An overly dramatic lift can look unnatural on some faces—subtle is often better.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the fox eye effect last?

Threads last 1-2 years as they dissolve and stimulate collagen. Botox lasts 3-4 months. Surgical canthoplasty results are permanent.

Is the thread lift painful?

Local anesthesia makes the procedure comfortable. Some pressure sensation is normal during thread insertion, but not painful.

Can threads be removed?

PDO threads dissolve naturally over 6-12 months. They cannot be removed early, so choose your practitioner carefully.

Will I look surprised or unnatural?

Skilled practitioners create subtle lifts that look natural. The "surprised" look happens with over-lifting—experienced providers avoid this.

What's the downtime?

Minimal for threads (2-3 days of swelling). Botox has no downtime. Surgical canthoplasty requires 1-2 weeks for initial recovery.

Can I combine with other treatments?

Yes, fox eye lift often combines beautifully with under-eye fillers, Botox for crow's feet, or blepharoplasty for comprehensive eye rejuvenation.

Is there an age limit?

No strict limit, but best results are typically seen in patients aged 25-55 with reasonable skin elasticity.

What are the risks?

Thread migration, asymmetry, or infection are possible but rare with experienced practitioners. Always choose board-certified providers.
