What is a Fox Eye Lift (Canthoplasty)?

Its goal is to create a gentle upward tilt, producing an elongated, almond-shaped eye appearance.This procedure helps improve facial symmetry, lifts drooping outer corners, and refreshes the eyes. People often choose it if their outer eye corners slope downward due to genetics or aging. Meeting with a qualified surgeon is important to learn about your options and what to expect.

Pre-procedure guidelines
Before your fox eye lift, keep these tips in mind:
- Arrive at the hospital a day before for preoperative testing.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least two weeks prior to surgery to reduce the risk of blood clots.

- Talk to your doctor about any supplements or medicines you use.
Fox Eye Lift procedure: What does it involve?
Each patient’s surgical approach is customized, but the main goal of a fox eye lift in Abu Dhabi or cat-eye surgery is to reposition or tighten the lateral canthal tendon. This adjustment elevates the outer corners of the eyes, producing the sought-after almond shape.During the procedure:
- A small incision is made near the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus).
- Sutures are used to secure the tendon and connective tissue in its new position.
- This gently lifts the outer corner, giving the eyes a more lifted and youthful slant.
The procedure is usually done with local anesthesia. If you feel anxious, you may get a sedative through an IV. The surgery usually takes about 30 minutes, but it can take longer if combined with another procedure, such as a brow lift.
