Fox eyes, or the fox-eye look, is a more recently used technique for lifting the tail of the eyebrows, combined with more almond-shaped eyes. This technique has become a little more famous precisely because some celebrities had the surgery and started talking about it in the media, but we need to understand: does the fox eyes shape suit everyone?
Most people notice when a little excess skin starts to form above the eyelids. However, what few people notice is the role drooping eyebrows play in this phenomenon. The easiest way to see this is when we notice a small fold starting to form at the outer corners of the eyes.
This small fold is usually caused by drooping eyebrows, and combining blepharoplasty with eyebrow suspension solves this problem. With fox eyes, the tail is a little more defined and a little higher, but when we do the consultation, we find that this shape is not always suitable for every patient; some people actually prefer to have the brow lift, or eyebrow suspension, in a more natural shape.
We also have a third option, which we call seagull wings, in which the head and body of the eyebrow rise in a slightly straighter line and the tail, instead of tilting downward, also tilts slightly upward. Fox eyes, suspension in a natural shape and even the seagull-wing shape can all deliver a beautiful result. What matters is that we need to determine which shape is most suitable for each type of face.
And why does fox eyes captivate so many people? Because combining a lift of the tail of the eyebrows with a more almond shape of the eyes produces a more feminine and even bolder look. It ends up becoming an extremely seductive look; the point is to always remember that this look may not suit every face, but when fox eyes suits the shape of the patient’s face, the result is extremely pleasing.
