Fox Eyes, Cat Eyes and Almond Eyes: what are the differences and which technique should you choose?

Why reshape the gaze?

Over time, or naturally, some people develop:

  • Tired or drooping eyes

  • Drooping eyebrows or drooping tails

  • Low-set or lifeless eyes

Eye-lifting techniques can:

  • Provide an immediate lifting effect

  • Give a more youthful and expressive look

  • Improve facial harmony without altering it

Fox Eyes: the lifted and modern look

The Fox Eyes technique aims to lengthen the outer corner of the eye upwards, creating a more elongated and sophisticated look.

Desired results:

  • Lifted eyes

  • Youthful and dynamic appearance

  • Slightly lifted brows

Techniques used:

  • Temporal Lift

  • Endoscopic Lift

  • Thread lift (in some cases)

This is an ideal option for patients seeking an elegant and trendy result, without exaggeration.

Cat Eyes: A more intense and glamorous look

Cat eyes are a more pronounced version of fox eyes. The outer corner of the eye is more elongated, giving a more intense and sensual look.

Desired results:

  • A more defined look

  • A "cat-eye" effect

  • Enhanced eye shape

This technique is often chosen by patients seeking a noticeable yet controlled change.

Almond Eyes: Natural and Balanced

The Almond Eyes technique aims to give the eyes a soft, balanced almond shape. It is perfect for those who want a natural result without an overly noticeable lifting effect.

Desired Results:

  • A rested look

  • A harmonious shape

  • Subtle improvement in eye opening

It is particularly suitable for patients who want to rejuvenate their eyes without drastically altering their expression.

Which technique is right for you?

The choice between Fox Eyes, Cat Eyes, or Almond Eyes depends on several factors:

  • Natural eye shape

  • Eyebrow position

  • Skin quality

  • Desired result (natural vs. more dramatic)

A personalized consultation is essential to determine the best surgical or non-surgical approach.

Duration: 1 to 2 hours depending on the technique

Anesthesia: local with sedation or general
