Have you been contemplating the idea of getting a face lift? Maybe you don't like the way you're aging and you want to lift and elongate the upper eyelid. If this perhaps sounds like you then let me introduce you to a new aesthetics world trend. It's called the Fox Eyes Lift. Here we'll get into all the questions you might have about this highly customizable non-surgical treatment.
What Is It?
So what exactly is it? The Fox Eyes Thread Lift is a minimally invasive alternative to the conventional surgical techniques, aimed at raising the eyebrows. This new trend simultaneously lifts and elongates the upper eyelid, pulling the eye into a more almond shape, creating overall emphasis on the eyes. If you're a person who doesn't like to naturally age then this trend might be the thing for you.
How Is It Done?
The next big question everyone wants to ask is how is it done? Well, there are different techniques used to achieve this look: PDO thread lifts, semi-permanent thread lifts and the Hybrid Mini Surgical technique. Let's get into the first one!
The PDO thread lift is the most commonly used technique. Dissolvable threads are inserted under the skin and pulled to lift and stretch the corner of the upper eyelid back towards the temples to create a more almond shape while simultaneously raising the brow tail. Not only does the thread lift the skin, it also stimulates the body’s healing process and initiates collagen production to the treated areas. How quick are the results you ask? INSTANTLY! Of course this is always appealing to clients, and last between six months to a year, depending on the type of medical-grade thread used and the body’s natural metabolism.
Now on to semi-permanent threads which use a similar technique to PDO threads. This technique however has much higher longevity, because the suture material is prone to degradation by the body with results reported to last between two to three years.
The last and final technique is the Hybrid Mini Surgical. This technique has the greatest longevity of results and is done under local anesthetic via a single hairline incision combined with lifting sutures to create a result that can last up to five years.
How Much Does It Cost?
They usually start around $1,200-1,500. It all depends upon the number of threads required to achieve your goal results.
Who's Done It?
Just so you don't think we made this up, we have proof of actual celebrities who have tried this trend out. This past summer the trend took over TikTok and became a viral challenge. Users were seen shaving off the outside half of their eyebrows to create the illusion of ‘fox-like’ eyes. Although this is an inexpensive, and less risky way of achieving the look, don't attempt if you aren't fully capable of mastering it. We don't want you out here looking crazy.
What Should you Consider Before Getting It Done?
If this technique is something you're interested in then first thing's first, make sure you find someone who's reputable and medically qualified. Also make sure they explain exactly what the treatment entails and the potential complications that can occur with this type of treatment. While it might be a trend on TikTok it still very much qualifies as a medical procedure and should be taken seriously! Don't be afraid to ask questions, no question is a dumb question and request to see before and after photos to get an idea of their work.
