How is Fox Eye performed in Turkey? 

The Fox Eye treatment starts after using a local anesthetic to numb the area around the eyes on both sides of the face. That reduces pain and discomfort during the treatment by making the patient comfortable. Then, the doctor uses a hollow needle to put the stitch under the patient’s skin. The whole process takes less than thirty minutes.

The doctor puts tiny threads made of a material that dissolves under the skin at the corners of the eyes. Tiny cones embedded in the threads accomplish the lifting procedure. When the doctor gently pull the threads, they lift the brows, which makes the upper eyelid look longer and lifts droopy skin.

The surgeon can remove a small part of the extra skin on the lower eyelid. This occurs near the corner of the eye. After that, the surgeon connects the edges of the skin to make it tighter. You will see the results right away and they will keep getting better over the next few weeks.
