The Fox Eye, also known as the Cat Eye, has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic trends for individuals seeking a more lifted, elongated, and youthful eye shape. Inspired by the almond-shaped, angled eyes of celebrities and models, this procedure elevates the outer corners of the eyes and brows for a naturally seductive and refreshed appearance.
In Antalya, fox eye surgery is performed using advanced, minimally invasive techniques with minimal scarring and quick recovery. Whether you’re aiming for a bold transformation or a subtle lift, Dr. Hadi Nural, a highly experienced facial surgeon, offers personalized solutions tailored to your unique facial anatomy. His mastery of cat eye surgery in Antalya ensures that results are balanced, aesthetic, and long-lasting.
Let’s explore the most frequently asked questions about this trending procedure and what makes Antalya an ideal destination for it.
What Is Fox Eye (Cat Eye) Surgery?
Fox Eye and Cat Eye surgery refer to cosmetic procedures designed to raise the outer corners of the eyes and brows, creating a lifted, elongated shape. The result is an elegant, almond-like eye contour that gives a youthful and alert appearance.
The procedure can be achieved through several methods, including thread lifting, endoscopic brow/temporal lift, or surgical canthopexy, depending on the desired result and anatomy of the patient. In Antalya, patients frequently choose this procedure for its rejuvenating effect and ability to create a naturally exotic look. Dr. Hadi Nural tailors the approach to your specific eye shape, ensuring that the result enhances—rather than alters—your facial identity.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fox Eye Surgery?
Not everyone needs a dramatic lift, but many people are ideal candidates for a fox eye or cat eye procedure, especially if they desire more definition in the eye area.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have naturally droopy or flat outer eyelids
- Want a more lifted or cat-like eye appearance
- Experience brow heaviness or outer eyelid sagging
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
- Are seeking a minimally invasive yet effective solution
During consultation, Dr. Hadi Nural evaluates your facial structure, eyelid shape, and goals to recommend the best approach—ensuring a natural and balanced fox eye result.
What Techniques Are Used for Fox Eye and Cat Eye Surgery in Antalya?
There are several techniques used in Antalya to achieve fox eye or cat eye effects, ranging from non-surgical to surgical methods. The right technique depends on the patient’s anatomy, age, and the degree of lift desired.
Common techniques include:
- PDO Thread Lift: A non-surgical option that uses dissolvable threads to lift the brow and eye corner; temporary but with minimal downtime.
- Temporal Lift (Mini Brow Lift): A surgical option that lifts the outer brow via a small incision behind the hairline; results last for years.
- Canthopexy or Canthoplasty: A surgical technique that tightens and lifts the outer eye corner by adjusting the canthal tendon.
- Endoscopic Fox Eye Lift: Uses a camera-assisted method through small incisions for precise, long-lasting elevation.
Dr. Hadi Nural selects the most appropriate technique to achieve a cat eye look that suits your face naturally and symmetrically.
What Is the Recovery Time After Fox Eye Surgery?
Recovery depends on the technique used. Non-surgical thread lifts have almost no downtime, while surgical procedures may require a few days to two weeks for full recovery.
Typical recovery process:
- Mild swelling or bruising around the outer eye or temple area
- Temporary tightness or pulling sensation
- Most patients return to work within 5–7 days after surgical lifts
- Makeup and strenuous activity should be avoided for 10–14 days
- Final results become visible within a few weeks
Dr. Hadi Nural provides detailed post-operative care instructions to help reduce swelling and ensure smooth healing for both local and international patients receiving fox eye surgery in Antalya.
How Long Do Fox Eye or Cat Eye Results Last?
The longevity of the results depends on the technique used and your body’s response. While thread lifts typically last 6–12 months, surgical fox eye lifts can offer results that last 5–10 years or longer.
Factors that affect results:
- Skin quality and age
- Lifestyle habits (smoking, sun exposure)
- Type of lift technique (thread vs. surgical)
- Post-operative care and overall health
For long-lasting outcomes, Dr. Hadi Nural often recommends combining a fox eye lift with complementary procedures like a temporal lift or eyelid surgery when needed.
How Much Does Fox Eye or Cat Eye Surgery Cost in Antalya?
One of the main reasons patients choose fox eye surgery in Antalya is the combination of high-quality medical care and significantly lower costs than in Western Europe or the US.
Factors affecting cost:
- Technique used (thread lift, canthopexy, temporal lift, etc.)
- Type of anesthesia and clinic facilities
- Surgeon’s expertise and reputation
- Inclusions like consultation, post-op care, or accommodation
Dr. Hadi Nural offers transparent, customized pricing based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. This ensures patients receive excellent care without unexpected fees, making Antalya a preferred destination for cat eye surgery.
