Fox Eyes (Almond Eyes) Surgery

Fox Eyes (Almond Eyes) in Turkey

 The skin around the eyes gets thinner and saggier as people age. A Fox Eye surgery can fix this problem. This surgical procedure corrects a sagging lower lid and gives the eye a more pleasing almond shape. Through this procedure, one can achieve a more exotic and youthful appearance.

To execute this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the area of the lower eyelid. Then, the doctor performs an eye lift by gently pulling the patient’s eyelids upward. The process can last almost 2 hours.

This procedure can benefit two groups of people. The first group includes those who desire almond-shaped eyes. The second group consists of individuals who appear sad and tired because of inherited lower eyelid retraction.

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.
