Fox Eyes Surgery in Istanbul, Turkey by Dr. Gurkan Kayabasoglu

Advanced Fox Eye Lift for Almond-Shaped Eyes, Lifted Brows & Youthful Facial Expression

Fox Eyes Surgery in Istanbul is a specialized facial aesthetic procedure designed to create an elongated, almond-shaped eye with a subtle upward tilt. This refined look enhances facial harmony, lifts the outer eye corners, and delivers a more youthful, refreshed, and striking appearance. Patients from around the world choose fox eye surgery in Turkey to achieve natural-looking eye rejuvenation while maintaining their unique facial identity.

This procedure has become increasingly popular among international patients seeking elegant, subtle enhancement rather than dramatic change. By lifting both the outer eye and brow area, Fox Eyes Surgery provides a balanced transformation that enhances overall facial aesthetics while preserving natural expression.

🩺What Is Fox Eyes Surgery?

Fox Eyes Surgery, also known as a fox eye lift or foxy eye surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the eyes to create a lifted, elongated, almond-shaped appearance. The goal is to achieve a refined upward tilt at the outer corners of the eyes, resulting in a more youthful and defined look.

This transformation is typically achieved by combining advanced surgical techniques such as lateral canthopexy or canthoplasty with a brow lift. These procedures work together to reposition and support the outer eye structure while elevating the brow to match the new eye contour. During the procedure, the outer corner of the eye is carefully lifted and stabilized, allowing for improved eye shape and enhanced symmetry. At the same time, the brow lift addresses heaviness in the upper eyelid area, smooths fine lines, and creates a more open, refreshed eye appearance. Unlike temporary solutions such as thread lifts or injectables, surgical fox eye lift provides long-lasting structural changes. The result is a harmonious enhancement of the eye area that improves both aesthetics and overall facial balance.

🩺 Types of Fox Eyes Surgery Procedures

  • Lateral Canthopexy – A minimally invasive technique that lifts and tightens the outer lower eyelid using sutures to create a subtle almond shape.
  • Canthoplasty – A more advanced surgical approach that repositions the lateral canthus to achieve a more defined and permanent eye reshaping.
  • Fox Eye Lift with Brow Lift – Combines eye corner elevation with brow lifting to ensure harmony between the eyes and forehead.
  • Cat Eye Surgery – Focuses mainly on lifting the outer corners while maintaining a softer, rounded eye contour.
  • Combined Eye Rejuvenation Approach – May include additional procedures such as upper eyelid refinement or skin tightening for enhanced overall results.

    I had surgery with Dr. Gurkan Kayabasoglu around two and a half weeks ago so I am still in the early stages of recovery and my final results are not visible yet. However, I wanted to share my experience so far. From the moment I arrived everything felt professional, organised and reassuring. The clinic and hospital were very clean, modern and comfortable. Every member of staff was kind, patient and respectful. Dr. Gurkan took the time to listen to my concerns and understand what I wanted to improve. He never rushed the consultation and explained the procedures clearly. What I appreciated most was his honesty. Initially I wanted surgery on my jaw, chin and nose. After examining me he explained that I already had a strong jawline and did not need jaw surgery. For me that showed professionalism and integrity. He focused on what would genuinely improve my facial harmony rather than simply agreeing to everything I requested so I chose to do an eyebrow lift, chin implant and rhinoplasty. I also want to thank Hudi who was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and one of the nicest man I’ve ever met. He answered all of my questions, was always available when I needed assistance and made me feel supported from start to finish. At no point did I feel pressured, rushed or uncomfortable. Every step was explained carefully and I always felt that I was in safe hands. Although I am still swollen and my final results will take time I am happy with my experience and results so far and grateful to Dr. Gurkan, Hudi and the entire team for their professionalism, honesty and care.
