Fox eyes is the huge new beauty trend sweeping social media – here’s everything you need to know
We’ve seen many a beauty trend over the years, from plumper lips to the recent allure of the ‘lob’ hair cut, and, at times, it might seem hard to keep on top of the ever-changing landscape.
Which is why we’re here to inform you all about the fox eyes trend which has been sweeping social media as of late.
Fresh off the back of the broomstick challenge, push up challenge and other viral offerings came the Fox Eye Challenge, which has seen TikTok users galore shaving the outside half of heir eyebrows to create a fox-like eye illusion.
Users of the platform have been attempting to recreate the looks of supermodels, including Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, by making their eyes look, well, fox-like. However, it turns out there’s an actual procedure people are having done to make it a more permanent facial feature.

Dr Mahsa Saleki, aesthetic doctor and founder of www.sas-aesthetics.co.uk, spoke exclusively to OK! online about the Fox Eyes treatment and what it entails.
Dr Saleki explained: “The Fox Eyes treatment was first pioneered and developed in January of this year at our clinic.
“It was something that most clients had been wanting and imitating with makeup to elongate their eyes to an almond shape and create more emphasis on the eyes.”
What’s involved in a ‘fox eye’ treatment?
Discussing what clients would have done if they were to visit her, Dr Saleki continued: “The fox eyes lift, which is done using dissolvable suture materials, is a lunchtime alternative to surgery.
“Most clients love the treatment results which simultaneously lifts the upper eye lid and pulls the eye into a more almond shape all in under 30 minutes.

“The treatment is very versatile and can be adapted to suit the clients needs. I tend to use a local anaesthetic injection, making the treatment relatively pain free.
“The lift is then achieved by placing dissolvable sutures under the skin to pull the outer eye corner, upper eyelid and brow to open up the eye.
“The instant results heal into a natural and flattering lift with an average downtime of one week. The sutures will stay in place to support the lift but dissolve naturally over time."
What are the risks?
Dr Saleki adds that the treatment is not recommended for pregnant women or those who are unable to avoid strenuous exercise for a period of two weeks.
As with any cosmetic procedure there are risks that should be taken into account.
Talking to Beauty Crew, surgeon Dr Angelo Tsirbas explained: “Big problems associated with filler in the orbital region are lumpiness, prolonged swelling and delayed swelling.

“This can cause a stretching of the skin which can cause a condition called ‘festoons’ which are very difficult to treat.”
It is highly encouraged that you see someone highly skilled and experienced when undergoing the procedure.
What else should you know?
Dr Saleki advises that you should avoid alcohol 12 hours before and after your treatment, and smoking should be avoided for six hours.
Thread lifts heal within seven to ten days, and Dr Saleki continues: “There may be some skin folds in the hairline, which will relax after two to three weeks.”
