The eyebrows in women naturally sit on the superior bony margin of the eyes' orbit and then peak at the outer upper corner of the eye, where they then continue to follow the bony rim and eye.  

The fox eye lift changes the natural shape of the eyebrow so that the outer third of the brow extends upwards. By not following the natural lines and contours of the face, this creates an unnatural look of the eyes with the eyebrows sitting too high.  

Fox eye surgery is an irreversible procedure and comes with risks. Natural ageing and other life events, such as weight loss, can cause the skin to naturally lose its elasticity, which can have an impact on the outcomes. There is a risk of damage to the eyelid tendons, which can result in conditions such as eyelid ptosis.

The use of threads is also associated with complications such as folding and puckering of the skin and a loss of sensation in the area. Such complications can be difficult to reverse, so anyone seeking fox eye surgery should take this into account when making their decision. For a non-surgical fox eye lift, a professional brow shape and lamination can improve the eyebrow height, creating a strong eyebrow to shape and define the eyes.

We do not offer fox eye surgery or a non-surgical fox eye lift here at the Cadogan Clinic.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid reduction, eye lift or eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure to reshape the eyelids by removing excess fat and skin. Blepharoplasty is a highly effective treatment to correct symptoms associated with ageing and weight loss around the eye area and can improve common complaints of eye bags and hooded or droopy eyelids. There are different surgical techniques which can be used to achieve the desired result.

Surgical brow lift is also effective in reducing excess skin above the eye area, and lifting the position of the eyebrow.

Both these treatments can recreate the fox brow lift, without the associated risks.

Alternatively, anti-ageing injectables offer a non-surgical alternative to help you achieve temporary results.

Dermal fillers can also be used. These are safe and will be naturally reabsorbed into the body after a period of time. The beauty of temporary fillers is that these are quickly and easily reversed if you are not satisfied with the results.
