Fox-Eye

Fox-Eye Surgery (Canthoplasty / Cantopexy), is a cosmetic procedure designed to elongate and lift the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more almond-shaped, youthful, and lifted look. This popular treatment enhances eye symmetry, rejuvenates tired eyes, and can harmonize the overall facial appearance. At Silur Clinic in Tirana, Albania, our surgeons use refined techniques to provide natural-looking and long-lasting results tailored to each patient’s unique features.

Techniques

At Silur Clinic, fox-eye surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs. The procedure usually lasts 1 to 2 hours. Through a small incision at the outer corner of the eye, the surgeon can reposition and tighten the lateral canthal tendon, giving the eye its lifted and elongated appearance. This technique ensures stable, natural results without altering the authentic expression of the eyes.

Care After Fox-Eye Surgery

Recovery after fox-eye surgery is generally smooth and well-tolerated. Mild swelling, bruising, or temporary tightness around the outer eyes is common in the first few days. Stitches are usually removed within 5–7 days, and most patients can resume daily activities within a week, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3–4 weeks. As swelling decreases, the final results become increasingly visible, revealing eyes that appear more lifted, youthful, and balanced. At Silur Clinic, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and continuous follow-up to ensure safe healing and naturally beautiful results.
