Cat Eye / Fox Eye: A Comparison of Surgical and Non-Surgical Options:
Cat eye and fox eye are two popular eyelid shapes that have been in trend for a while now. Both these eyelid shapes have been popularized by celebrities, influencers, and fashion bloggers and have become the latest beauty craze.
‘The main difference between the two is that cat eye is more rounded, whereas fox eye is more sharp and angled.’
In this article, we will compare the surgical and non-surgical options for achieving cat and fox eyes.
Surgical Options:
- Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can help achieve a more defined, youthful-looking cat or fox eye. Blepharoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia, and the recovery time is typically two weeks.
- Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves reshaping the canthal tendon, which is the tendon that holds the eyelid in place. This procedure is often performed to correct droopy eyelids and to achieve a cat or fox eye. Canthoplasty is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, and the recovery time is typically two weeks.
Non-Surgical Options:
- Fillers, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, can be used to create a cat or fox eye by adding volume to the tear trough and cheek area. Fillers can be injected into the tear trough and cheek area to give a more defined and youthful appearance to the eyes. This non-surgical option is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and results are temporary.
- Thread lifting is a non-surgical procedure that involves inserting fine threads into the skin to lift and tighten the skin. This procedure can be used to achieve a cat or fox eye by lifting the eyelid and cheek area. Thread lifting is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and results are temporary.
In conclusion,
Both surgical and non-surgical options can be used to achieve cat or fox eyes. However, surgical options, such as blepharoplasty and canthoplasty, are more permanent and provide more dramatic results. Non-surgical options, such as fillers and thread lifting, are minimally invasive, require no downtime, and provide temporary results. It is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to determine the best option for you based on your individual needs and goals.
