The Fox Eye Lift, also known as almond eye surgery or lateral canthoplasty, is a highly sought-after cosmetic procedure designed to elongate and lift the outer corners of the eyes. This creates a captivating, almond-shaped contour that instantly refreshes the upper face, delivering a subtle yet striking, model-esque enhancement.
Treatment
At Shumaila’s London, we ensure you never walk the path of your surgical journey alone. From your initial consultation through to your final transformational result, our dedicated medical experts will be by your side, providing compassionate and continuous support.
The Procedure
A Fox Eye Lift alters the shape of the eye by elevating the lateral canthus (the outer corner where the upper and lower eyelids meet). Unlike non-surgical thread lifts which are temporary, surgical canthoplasty or canthopexy provides a permanent structural change. By lifting the outer eye and brow simultaneously, this procedure corrects slightly droopy eyes and imparts an exotic, elongated “fox” or “cat-eye” aesthetic. At Shumaila’s London, we tailor every aspect of this treatment to your unique anatomy and aspirations, ensuring a premium experience that is synonymous with our brand.
Key Benefits
Exotic Eye Shape: Creates the highly desirable elongated, almond eye appearance.
Restored Youthfulness: Lifts drooping outer corners that can make the face look sad or tired.
Permanent Results: Unlike PDO threads, surgical fox eye lifts offer lasting structural changes.
Enhanced Facial Harmony: Balances upper facial proportions beautifully.

Frequent Asked Questions
Yes. Surgical canthoplasty alters the tendon structure, making the results permanent, unlike temporary thread lifts.
No, the procedure only alters the outer shape of the eyelids and does not affect your eyeball or vision.
Incisions are made within the natural creases of the eyelid or exactly at the corner of the eye, making scars virtually invisible once healed.
Absolutely. It is very frequently combined with upper or lower eyelid surgery for total eye rejuvenation.
You will be comfortably numbed with local anaesthesia and sedation. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and easily managed.
A fox eye lift purely elevates the outer corner of the eye (the lateral canthus). A brow lift addresses the entire forehead and eyebrow position, but does not technically change the shape of the eye aperture itself.
Yes, pulling the lateral canthus outwards and upwards can often make small eyes appear slightly more open, elongated, and exotic.
A skilled, board-certified facial plastic surgeon performs this procedure with precision to ensure a subtle, elegant enhancement that complements your existing facial anatomy rather than looking overly tight.
The cost depends on whether the procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia and if it is combined with other surgeries like a temporal lift or blepharoplasty.
No, an isolated surgical canthoplasty is frequently and safely performed as a day case under local anesthesia, drastically reducing your recovery time and costs.
You should wait approximately 10 to 14 days before applying eyeliner or eyeshadow, allowing the delicate incisions at the corner of your eyes to heal completely and avoiding infection.
