A fox eye lift can help create a rejuvenated look in the upper part of the face and eye region. the procedure has gained popularity recently, it is a well-established procedure that was first performed over forty years ago by surgeons in the United States.

A fox eye lift aims to achieve a more youthful look by reducing the size of the eyelids.

Many people may not be keen on invasive surgery for the fox eye look. An alternative method involves using for a non-surgical fox eye lift.

What is a non-surgical fox eye lift?

Fotona VectorLift is a highly effective treatment for lifting the outer third of the eyebrow and rejuvenating the upper eyelids. The procedure is designed to enhance periocular and brow aesthetics by lifting the tail of the eyebrow and tightening the upper eyelids. VectorLift is a three-step treatment that combines eyelid and eyebrow elevation, all without needles and incisions, making it a less invasive alternative to more traditional procedures. The is particularly effective as it preserves the vital subcutaneous fat, which maintains usefulness.

Fox eye surgery alters the position of the eyebrows so that the outer aspect of the brow is positioned higher.

Fox eye surgery is an invasive procedure that involves certain risks and complications. As part of the natural ageing process, the skin gradually loses its elasticity, with a loss of collagen and elastin. This can lead to stretching of the ligaments and tendons that support the eyelid.

In a small number of cases, PDO threads used as part of a non-surgical fox eye lift may result in localised bunching up of the skin and a temporary loss of sensitivity in the area of treatment. It can be challenging to manage certain complications that arise from fox eye surgery. A non-surgical fox eye lift can also be achieved with the Fotona VectorLift procedure described above, without the risk of complications, which is possible with PDO threads or fox eye surgery.
