The aesthetic trend of recent times: 'Fox eye' surgeries

'Fox eyes' aesthetic surgeries, which make the gaze more attractive by lifting the eyebrow, eye edge and cheekbone area upwards, have recently become popular. Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Opr. Dr. Emre Kıymık said, “We started to perform such surgeries very frequently. There are usually surgically satisfying surgeries.”

“Fox eye” surgeries performed by social media phenomena and some famous names have become popular in recent days. Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Opr. Dr. Emre Kıymık gave information about the surgery. Giving information about the procedure, Opr. Dr. Emre Kıymık said, “In these surgeries, we make a 3-centimeter incision through the scalp. From this incision, we proceed in a plan downwards, towards the edge of the eye and the cheekbone, which we call the middle face. We move the 3 areas of the eyebrow, eye corner and cheekbone upwards. It is necessary to pay attention to the following in this surgery; in our daily life, we see surgical results in an incredibly drawn, stretched image. The biggest reason for this; after this surgery, we observe a fall after an average of nearly 50 percent stretching. When we perform these surgeries, we stretch it more than it is and wait for it to reach its ideal position after it falls. These over-stretched or over-lifted areas you see are the early stages of surgical results. There is a certain process for these surgeries to settle. By the first month, 70 percent of the surgical swelling regresses. A visibly better result starts to emerge. Ideal results usually come after the first 6 months. It takes 8 to 12 months for such surgeries to take their final shape. The permanence of the surgical period is directly related to the aging balance in the body and self-care. While these types of surgeries are more long-lasting in people who pay attention to body balance, these surgeries have shorter lifespans in people with lower skin quality and serious sagging, which we call very seriously heavy face,” he said.


“It is a very valuable procedure in terms of giving vitality to people with a tired look”

Emre Kıymık said the following about the surgery:

“These types of surgeries have become very popular recently. We started to perform them very often. They are usually surgically satisfying surgeries. There may be a certain amount of decrease in long-term results. We routinely explain these to our patients. It is very valuable especially for people with a tired gaze in terms of revitalizing the gaze. The most important event in people we call tired gaze; It is the right patient selection to apply it to people whose eye edges are lower than the inside of the eye, people with lower eyebrows and people with more empty under-eyes. When it is performed at a younger age, we can achieve better results.”
