Sophisticated Eye Contouring for Lifted Angles, Sharp Expression & Iconic Aesthetic Appeal

The Fox Eyes elevates the outer corners of the eyes to create a lifted, elongated, and captivating look. This procedure enhances the gaze by reshaping the eyelid–eyebrow relationship, offering patients a more defined, sleek, and visually striking expression.

🩺 What Is Fox Eyes Surgery?

Fox Eyes surgery is an aesthetic procedure designed to lift the outer corners of the eyes and eyebrows to create a more elongated, lifted, and sensual eye shape. It enhances the natural contours of the upper face, giving a youthful, exotic, and confident appearance.

The procedure may be performed using thread lifting for temporary enhancement or surgical fixation for a longer-lasting result. During treatment, the tissues around the brow and outer eyelid are gently repositioned upward and outward. The approach is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and desired level of lift. Both options aim to create symmetry, enhance the gaze, and refine eye shape.

Fox Eyes surgery is often chosen by individuals who want a more defined, high-fashion eye look inspired by modern beauty trends. It also offers functional benefits for those experiencing eyelid heaviness or sagging that affect eye closure. The results can be subtle or dramatic depending on the technique used.

With careful planning and expert execution, the Fox Eyes procedure delivers a lifted, refined, and dynamic eye appearance that enhances overall facial beauty.

🩺 Types of Fox Eye Procedure

  • Thread Lift Fox Eyes – A minimally invasive technique where specialized threads are placed under the skin to gently pull the outer eye upward and outward for an instant lifting effect.
  • Surgical Fox Eyes (Lateral Canthoplasty) – Involves securing the outer corner of the eye to the bone membrane for a more defined, long-lasting result.
  • Combined Brow & Fox Eye Lift – Elevates both the brows and outer eyelids for maximal contouring and seamless upper-face rejuvenation.
  • Non-Surgical Fox Eye Shaping – Includes fillers or energy-based tightening for subtle contour lift without incisions.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review I recently travelled from Australia to Istanbul for a 4,750 graft hair transplant at Memorial Hospital with Dr. Salim Salimov, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Salimov is incredibly skilled and professional. He explained the entire procedure clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely confident. The surgery went smoothly, and I was amazed that I didn’t feel any pain at all after the procedure. The nurses and staff were also outstanding — friendly, supportive, and attentive throughout the whole journey. The hospital itself is extremely clean, modern, and well-organised. I’m extremely happy with my results so far, and I will definitely be coming back for any future treatments. I highly recommend Memorial Hospital and Dr. Salim Salimov to anyone considering a hair transplant. Outstanding experience all around!

After so many days in the hospital, I know that I owe them more than just words. Their professionalism, dedication, and human warmth were my anchor. Each one of you, with your tireless efforts, not only took care of me, but literally gave me back my life. I will never forget your commitment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving me. I will always carry you in my memory with immense gratitude. ❤️🫶🏽
