Foxy Eyes Lift

Foxy Eyes Lift in brief

Foxy Eyes Lift or Cat Eye Lift is a procedure that is usually performed on young women who want a “slit” eye shape or who have a drooping upper eyelid and want to “open” their gaze. This eye shape should of course be in harmony with the angle of the eyebrow, however, the procedure can be performed on any eye shape.

There are two ways in which the Foxy Eyes Lift can be performed. One option involves the use of threads which has very short-term results, thus its application is not carried out in our clinic. The other option is surgery and is the one that is widely chosen in our clinic due to the stable and long-term results. It can be applied under local anaesthesia only or in combination with gas anaesthesia.

Foxy Eyes Lift Technique

With this technique, an incision is initially made which is hidden in the scalp in the area of the temple. This incision provides access to the outer half of the eyebrow, the skin of which is pulled either horizontally or in a combination with a horizontal and vertical direction. This approach can be extended lower as well in order to help to lift the average face. It can also be combined with a canthoplasty operation which can give an even more intense “fox” or “cat” shape.

Medication

In our clinic, a complete medical history is always taken before each surgery. As a precaution, over-the-counter medicines or herbal products should not be taken before and for 3 days after surgery. It is also considered necessary to avoid taking non-steroid, anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin (salospir), ibuprofen (Nurofen), diclofenac, and any other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drug.

Smoking

If you are a smoker, try to stop smoking for at least one week before and one after surgery, as this will speed up the healing process.

Lifting from a Foxy Eyes Lift

Duration of the procedure

This surgery usually takes 60 to 90 minutes.

Hospitalization/Duration

No hospitalization is required and you can leave immediately after the operation.

Wound dressing

After the operation, there will be only a small adhesive gauze on the incision, as well as a small corset that will be applied around the head and serves to prevent extensive swelling. The re-examination of incisions will be done in seven to ten days.

Absence from work

Absence from work is generally not required, as long as it does not involve weight lifting.

Refraining from exercising

You should avoid strenuous exercise for about 20 to 30 days, while you will be able to walk a distance 3 days after the operation without any problems.

Post-op instructions

From the first to the fourth day you should ideally avoid sports activities or anything that increases your blood pressure.

From day 5 to day 14 you can start exercising more, as for instance go walking for a longer period of time, go shopping etc. If all wounds seem to have been healed by day 10, it is rather unlikely that you increasing your level of activity could cause any issues. You should only resume your activities if you feel healthy.

From the third week onwards you will be able to fully return to your normal pace of life and do whatever you want.

Driving

Patients who have had a Fox Eye Lift will be able to drive immediately after the operation.

Recovery from a Foxy Eyes Lift

There may be some bruising and slight swelling in the upper eyelid, which will last up to three weeks. The recovery period can of course be accelerated through the lymphatic drainage massage that we recommend be applied to all types of surgery. For more information, you can click here.

Postoperative follow-up

The incision and the result will be checked on the second and seventh postoperative day. However, if you need any clarification or there is something that worries you, doctors are always at your disposal. Your next appointments will be after one and three months respectively and during said appointments, postoperative photos will be taken. For these visits, there will of course be no extra charge for any follow-up related to your surgery.
