WHAT IS A FOX EYE THREAD LIFT?
Fox eye lift / Fox eye thread lift uses Silhouette Soft threads to thread lift eyes area, lifting the edge of the brow. This brow lift or a cats eye-lift treatment can be used to recreate the popular fox eye trend which gives a subtle slant upwards to the outer brow area, which effectively lifts and elongates the upper eyelid creating a beautiful almond eye shape.
The fox eye thread lift procedure can be used as a subtle solution for other eye concerns such as a heavy brow, asymmetry and hooded lids. For example one brow only can be lifted to correct symmetry, and as a tool to lift hooded, heavy eyelids which can develop with age to create a more ‘awake’ and refreshed eye area.
WHAT DOES THE FOX EYE LIFT PROCEDURE INVOLVE?
- A thread, which is a dissolvable
stitch which contains small cones, is inserted under the skin, it is then tightened and the cones of the thread hook under the skin to lift the area.- You are awake throughout and the procedure takes no more than 20 minutes.
- It is not painful as you are injected with local anaesthetic before the procedure.
- Results are instant and recovery time is several days.
HOW DOES A FOX EYE LIFT WORK?
A Fox eye lift / Fox eye thread lift works in two ways;
- Firstly, Eyebrow thread lift mechanically lifts the skin, which gives an immediate lifted appearance to the face – acting as a non-surgical brow lift
- Secondly, over the following months, the small cones on the threads (which are anchored deep in your skin) stimulate the body’s collagen production, creating a lifted appearance that’s completely natural.
- To enhance the lifting of the brow area and lengthen the effects of the Eyebrow thread lift – Botox above the eyebrows is injected on the day of treatment.
Thread Lift (eyes) is a non-surgical brow lift where threads are used in this area for three different reasons:
- To change the shape of the brow often referred to as fox brows. This creates a wide eyed, lifted fox eye look keeping with the fox eye trend, which is not related to the ageing process.
- To create a brow lift – e.g lift the brow to treat hooded lids or heavy eyebrows which often are caused by ageing – treatment for this indication is suitable from aged 30 onwards
- To correct asymmetry, where a thread is placed in one brow to lift one brow to create symmetry with the other
Over time the threads simply naturally dissolve in your skin, the same way that any dissolvable stitch would.

SHOULD I CONSIDER A FOX EYE SURGERY?
A fox eye surgery is, of course, going to give you a permanent result, which may be what you are looking for if you want to minimize the signs of aging by eliminating sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
However, it may not be the ideal solution if you want to change the shape of your brow because it is currently fashionable. Fox eyebrows could go out of style, but fox eye surgery is permanent!
Also, the eyebrow thread lift is an excellent option for patients who are afraid of going under the knife due to the risks of complications.
So, maybe you could get first a non-surgical lift to take your new eyebrows for a spin before taking more definite measures.
