Fox Eye

What are foxy eyes?

The “Foxy Eyes” look is characterized by almond-shaped eyes and an elongated gaze. Like cat eyes, this eye shape is considered more seductive, mysterious, but also softer. Many women try to change certain aspects of their face through simple methods. If it is possible to prolong the look thanks to make-up, the effects are only ephemeral. Cosmetic surgery can help by offering a method of stretching the gaze without complex consequences.

How to have the “foxy eyes” look?

The cosmetic surgery technique used to lengthen the gaze is that of tensor threads. The term canthopexy is sometimes used in cosmetic surgery. This innovative and well-known method in aesthetic practice makes it possible to raise the tips of the eyebrows by a few millimeters in order to lengthen the look and make the look more “raised”. There are different types of tension wires. In order to obtain this slight lifting effect on the eyes, the tension threads must be very thin so that they are perfectly invisible under the very thin skin of this part of the face.

Fox Eye, what type of treatment is possible?

With surgery: canthopexy

Canthopexy is a surgical procedure performed under local or general anesthesia. This creates a scar in the crease of the eyelid. The lateral eyelid tendon is accessible for higher reattachment. This intervention must be permanent

With wired facelift

Having become a must in aesthetic medicine: the wire lift helps to tighten aging skin. The direction of traction is defined by the positioning and the number of resorbable or non-resorbable wires. In the case of absorbable sutures, the procedure should take 6-9 months. With non-absorbable tension threads, fibrosis develops, which most often allows a so-called definitive result. With injections in aesthetic medicine

By injecting botulinum toxin (Botox) at the tail of the eyebrow, the orbicularis muscle relaxes and lifts and opens the gaze by a few millimetres. The injection can be supplemented with hyaluronic acid in the upper part of the eyebrow to give it more fixation and therefore a slightly stronger lifting effect.

How is the intervention carried out?

This medical intervention, as simple as it is, is always preceded by a consultation during which the aesthetic doctor explains the intervention in detail. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a local chair. It lasts an average of 30 minutes and consists of inserting one or two tension threads under the skin as needed. The result is visible immediately and lasts 9 to 18 months. No pain should be felt in the postoperative period either. In most cases, after fox or cat eye with tension threads, a few drops of Botox are injected. This reduces the contraction of the crow’s feet muscles to optimize the final performance of the brow lift.

Canthopexy

Canthopexy, also known as cat eye surgery, refers to a surgical procedure that changes the shape of the eyes so that they are almond-shaped. The cosmetic surgeon at Clinique Crillon must then lift the corner of the eye to lengthen it and thus add more charm to the patient’s gaze. In medical terms, canthopexy is a tightening of the outer edge, i.e. the outer corner of the eye.

Who is this technique for?

Cantopexy is for all patients, men and women, who want to rejuvenate their appearance or add more charm to it. Still unknown to the general public, this act is so far only appreciated by celebrities. Therefore, your doctor may advise against such a procedure as long as your eyes are healthy and normal and he feels that you do not yet need them.

How is it carried out?It is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation, but for more comfort, the patient can request general anesthesia. The eye lift is performed through a few small incisions in the corner of the eyelid. The expert cosmetic surgeon at Clinique Crillon can thus separate the outer corner of the eye and reposition it slightly higher than the inner corner of the eye. You will have almond eyes. When replacing the outer corner of the eye, the cosmetic surgeon takes into account the position of the pupil so as not to obstruct vision

What should be done after canthopexy?

As with any surgery, a postoperative rest period of a few days is necessary. However, the patient can resume his professional and social activities very quickly. It is quite possible that your eyes are more sensitive to light. In this case, you must wear sunglasses. Patients who wear contact lenses should not wear them for 2 weeks after the procedure. Makeup should also be avoided during this time so as not to disrupt the healing process. All you have to do is listen to your plastic surgeon and follow his recommendations to the letter to brag like a charm.

What are the possible complications incurred?

Any operation involves risk. The aesthetic doctor will explain in detail the procedure, the expected results and the possible complications that will arise during its implementation. At the end of this consultation, you will be asked to sign a document certifying that you have been well informed of the risks you are taking. However, these complications are very limited, especially if you call on a qualified and experienced specialist. The consequences of canthopexy are generally very benign. However, your vision may be more or less blurred, the light may bother you, bruises may form at the level of the incisions… A reaction to anesthesia is rarely observed but is present. This circumstance is also rare, but it can also occur. The eyes can return to their original shape because the fixation made does not hold. what are tensor threads?

They are very fine resorbable strands of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polylactic acid (PLA), a molecule that activates skin revitalization and enhances the rejuvenating effect. These tension threads are inserted into the subcutaneous fatty tissue to restore tension to weakened tissues (ptosis) and stimulate the local synthesis of collagen by the fibroblasts, responsible for the firmness of the skin. In other words, thread lifts are a medical (non-incisional) alternative to surgical facelifts for tightening tissue. But its action does not stop there, the threads of tension being absorbed, they are colonized by the collagen which tightens the skin. The combination of the two effects allows results from 6 to 24 months.

What are the specificities of our tensor threads?

Our experienced doctors use notched threads: each notch is in the opposite direction to the previous one to increase traction. The multidirectional notches ensure perfect hold on all areas of the face, even the most sensitive, for long-lasting results. The wires are inserted into the foam-tipped cannula through a hidden entry point close to the hair, on each side, with no exit point, with the possibility of a loop for optimal resistance. They disappear completely after 24 months. The 19 cm threads make it possible to treat the lower part of the face, to smooth the nasolabial folds, to firm the oval and to emphasize the cheekbones. The strands of less than 9 cm are preferred to lift the upper part of the face, raise the tips of the eyebrows and draw almond-shaped eyes. The role of tensor threads and their benefits

To describe skin aging, our patients use a simple image: over time, your face sags and the original facial shape tends to reverse. The solution we offer you? Stimulate sagging skin by applying firming threads to restore volume to the face and restore freshness and tone!    What result to expect?

At the end of the intervention you have an overview of the result, namely the immediate negotiation. The volumes are immediately repositioned and the lifting effect is immediate. The result is visible after 8 days.
