A Fox Eye Lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure where we modify the outer corners of the eyes to create a lifted, elongated, and slightly upturned appearance. Our goal is to give you a more lifted, longer, and slightly upturned eye shape. This look is often seen as youthful, fresh, and elegant.
This surgery is not just for aesthetics—it can also improve symmetry and correct mild eyelid sagging. However, it differs from traditional eyelid surgeries, which are usually performed to address aging-related issues.
Many of my patients choose this surgery to feel more confident and to refresh their look without going for a full traditional eyelid surgery.
If you’re curious about which one is right for you, we’re here for an online consultation to help you explore your options and make the best choice for your face.
When I perform a Fox Eye Lift, the goal is to gently lift the outer edges of your eyes. This creates a more sleek, elongated and elegant eye shape, while maintaining a natural look.
It gives your eyes a slightly stretched, “fox-eye” look, but in a soft and balanced way. The result? A fresher, more youthful expression that still looks like you, just more awake and confident.
Most of my patients love how this small change can make such a big difference in their overall appearance.

If you are looking forward to achieving a more lifted, elongated eye shape, a fox eye lift (canthoplasty) is ideal for you. This procedure can enhance facial aesthetics and address functional concerns related to sagging eyelids.
✔️ If you are seeking a lifted, almond-shaped eye appearance – People who want to enhance the natural contour of their eyes for a more elongated, fox-eye effect.
✔️ If you have sagging or downturned outer eye corners – Canthoplasty can correct drooping caused by aging or genetics, creating a more youthful, refreshed look.
✔️ If you want to correct eye asymmetry – The procedure can help improve balance and proportion between the eyes.
✔️ If you have had previous eyelid surgery and need corrections – Canthoplasty can refine the results of previous procedures or address complications.
✔️ If you are in good overall health – Candidates should be free from underlying health conditions that could affect healing. Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery have better recovery outcomes.
✔️ If you have realistic expectations – The procedure can enhance eye shape but should not be expected to drastically change the overall facial structure. Consulting with a qualified surgeon helps ensure the desired outcome aligns with what’s realistically achievable.
There are several techniques that we use to achieve the Fox Eye look, depending on your natural eye shape and desired outcome.
Canthoplasty is a surgical modification of the lateral canthus (outer eye corner) to lift and extend the eye shape. It is one of the most permanent and effective techniques for achieving the Fox Eye look.
🔹 Procedure:
🔹 Best for:
✔ Patients with naturally round or downturned eyes.
✔ Those looking for a long-lasting and dramatic result.
A temporal lift, also called a lateral brow lift, is a minimally invasive procedure that lifts the outer portion of the eyebrows, indirectly pulling up the outer eye corners.
🔹 Procedure:
🔹 Best for:
✔ Those who want a less invasive alternative to Canthoplasty.
✔ Individuals with mild sagging around the brows and temples.
If you’re looking for a more dramatic and long-lasting result, we may combine Canthoplasty with Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
🔹 Procedure:
🔹 Best for:
✔ Mature patients with excess eyelid skin.
✔ Those who want a sharper, more sculpted eye shape.
Many people confuse Fox Eye and Cat Eye surgeries, but they have distinct differences;
| Feature | Fox Eye Lift | Cat Eye Lift |
| Look | Subtle, elongated, and lifted | More dramatic and angular |
| Surgical Approach | Uses Canthoplasty or Temporal Lift | Involves Canthoplasty with a sharper tilt |
| Best For | Those wanting a natural, soft lift | Those desiring a bold, feline-like look |
While Fox Eye surgery provides a delicate, almond-shaped enhancement, Cat Eye surgery delivers a sharper, more angular appearance. The best choice depends on personal preference and facial structure.

The recovery time for a Fox Eye Lift depends on the technique used and individual healing factors, but the general timeline is as follows:
| Timeframe | Recovery Milestones |
| First 3-5 Days | Swelling, bruising, mild discomfort |
| 1 Week | Stitches (if used) may be removed |
| 2 Weeks | Major swelling subsides, results start becoming visible |
| 4-6 Weeks | Full healing, final results take shape |
Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days, although we advise to avoid strenuous activities for at least a month.
🔹 Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising.
🔹 Keep your head elevated while sleeping to minimize swelling.
🔹 Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes during the healing process.
🔹 Stay hydrated and eat a healthy diet to promote faster recovery.
🔹 Follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions for the best results.
Pain is usually mild to moderate and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers prescribed by your doctor.
Like any cosmetic surgery, the Fox Eye Lift carries some risks. However, these risks are minimized when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon.
In this regard, Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital stands out as a trusted choice with its team of European Board-certified expert surgeons and a patient-focused approach, as reflected in over 3,000 reviews and a 4.7/5 satisfaction score on Trustpilot.com.
🔸 Swelling and bruising
🔸 Temporary discomfort or tightness
🔸 Mild dryness or irritation in the eyes
⚠ Asymmetry – One eye may heal differently from the other.
⚠ Overcorrection – The eyes may appear too lifted or unnatural.
⚠ Scarring – Rare with skilled surgeons, but possible.
⚠ Infection – Extremely rare with proper post-operative care.
🔹 How to Avoid Complications?
✔ Choose a board-certified, experienced plastic surgeon.
✔ Follow all pre-surgery and post-surgery care instructions.
✔ Avoid smoking and alcohol before and after surgery, as they can slow healing.

I just had a very nice experience when I decided to have a rhinoplasty. My doctor has no words to describe the kindness and patience that he treats the patients. Thank you Dr MERT SIZMAZ, thank you Yavuz, my medical coordinator, the lovely nurses, the drivers. Thank you sooooooo much!
Carla
From arrival through surgery and post surgery everything went as smooth, which what you want when travelling for surgery.
I coordinated my booking who was always at hand then once I arrived someone communicated and organised all my needs and the drivers were always prompt and friendly. Can’t praise the nursing staff enough who looked after me. My surgeon carried out rhinoplasty and explained everything very well and I would recommend 100%. I am now looking forward to the next year to see the changing improvement on my nose. Cannot find any negativity 5 star

I loved the experience here with Vanity. Everyone was very welcoming and made me feel safe and well taken care of. The whole process of the rhinoplasty was great, everyone was very patient and friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Nohemy
I had a rhinoplasty last week at the vanity clinic and I am very pleased with the doctors and nurses. I really liked the way they looked after me and my partner! My doctor Kadri Ila was very good and kind.
I thank him very much for everything!!!! I recommend it to those who want to have an operation in Turkey. I would like to thank everyone again. I am very pleased with everything. Thank you.
Zoi
I travelled to Vanity in May for rhinoplasty and breast uplift- I was pretty nervous about it but it was honestly a 10/10 experience. Seda was amazing at communicating through the whole booking and lead-up process, when we arrived we met Umut & my surgeon Dr Erman Menekse. They were SO caring, professional, and attentive. I felt relaxed and safe in every moment. Everyone at Vanity and at our hotel (Antwell) went above and beyond for our comfort. Amazing communication. Dr Erman is a very talented surgeon, he exceeded my expectations. Umut put us at ease the whole trip, was always there and helped me at every turn and still communicates with me now to check in on how I am after my surgery and answer questions. I don’t think the experience, surgery or trip could have gone any better in any way. I’m so so thankful in particular to Seda, Dr Erman and Umut. I would highly recommend using Vanity!
Danielle Al Assmi
I had a great experience with Vanity! I had a rhinoplasty and chin liposuction.
I spoke with Zeynep alot over whatsapp before I arrived in turkey she was very nice and helpful in organising the surgery and answering any questions I had.
Once I arrived my coordinator Zineb was so good and gave me advice and answered any questions i had following the operation.
My surgeon Dr Alper Burak Uslu did an amazing job and I am happy with my result so far! He listened to everything I asked for and helped me decide on which surgeries would be best for the results I wanted.
The nurses as well were all so kind and caring. I stayed a night in the hospital and they took very good care of me.
The hotel and airport transfer and hospital to hotel transfer was all included in my package which took away alot of the stress I didnt have to organise anything.
I would definitely recommend this clinic to others 🙂
Julia
It was an amazing experience. From my arrival until the last day dropped at the airport. I thank all the staff for being very attentive. They did not miss anything. I recommend Vanity specially my surgeon. He operated on my nose. I used to have a crick nose, a problem breathing, with a very bad shape. He made it as I dreamed. Also, I was sent to Antwell Hotel where I spent my week recovering well and treated as well. Even more, I had a follow-up nurse visiting me at the hotel which made the whole experience very pleasant because I was not forgiven after my surgery. I want to thank the staff who made all the logistics very easy for me, and the other for being there at any moment I needed him. Thanks so much. I hope you choose Vanity.
Lin Chew
Extremely happy with my revision rhinoplasty results from Vanity. I first came to the clinic in 2022 for rhinoplasty but just recently went back for revision due to my nasal valve collapsing. My client care advisor, has been amazing from the minute I started to have concerns from my first surgery up, until now. No question was ever unanswered and my surgery felt like a walk in the park. Thank you so much for everyone at Vanity for taking care of me and to my surgeon, My surgeon, for giving me my perfect nose!

I had a nose job in April with Dr. Kadri Ila and can only report positive things about the operation, the result but also the entire organization and the Vanity clinic.
Dr. Kadri Ila is a very nice and professional doctor, who listened to my ideas about the nose and implemented it to suit my face.
The result of the nose is exactly as I wanted it.
The clinic, the operation and the aftercare were very professional and sensitive.
I was looked after throughout, and in the time after the operation, there was always a contact person on hand if you had any questions. All questions were always answered and questions were asked about me.
Vanity organized everything very well, the transfers and the appointments at the clinic were always on time. I am happy to have had such a good experience and can highly recommend Vanity and Dr Really recommend Kadri Ila to everyone!
Anna B
I recently had a rhinoplasty at Vanity Clinic with Dr. Kadri İla and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I was struggling with both breathing difficulties and cosmetic concerns related to my nose prior to the surgery. During my initial consultation, Dr. Kadri İla listened attentively to my concerns and goals and created a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. His expertise, knowledge, and kind demeanor immediately put me at ease.

Selvi, the Sales Rep, went above and beyond to set up my appointment, organize transportation, and arrange my hotel stay. Her efficiency and attention to detail made the logistics effortless and stress-free.
Gizem, my Patient Coordinator, has been exceptional in providing post-surgery instructions, answering all my questions, and scheduling follow-up appointments. Her support and responsiveness have been invaluable during my recovery.

I recently had the pleasure of having a rhinoplasty performed by the talented Dr. Kadri Ila at Vanity Hospital and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The entire hospital staff greeted me with warmth and professionalism from the moment I walked in.
Dr. Kadri Ila exceeded my every expectation. Not only is he extremely skilled, but he also took the time to listen to my concerns and ensure that I felt confident throughout the process. I am delighted with the results of my surgery and grateful for his expertise.
And I want to extend a speciallll thank you to my patient coordinator, Yavuz. Yavuz went above and beyond to assist me before, during, and after my procedure. His attentiveness and care made the entire experience that much smoother, and I am trulyyyy grateful for his support! He rocksss!! 🙂
Also, the nurses were seriously amazing! They had this way of making me feel at ease the entire time I was there. I’ve never seen such sweet nurses hahaha. You could just tell they really cared about every single person who walked through those doors.
Overall, my experience at Vanity Hospital was excellent, and I would strongly recommend their services to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. Thank you to the entire team for your excellent service and professionalism. :)))
Melikee
I had a great experience. I had a rhinoplasty and I really like the rusult and the doctor was also very nice. I was writing with a really nice patient representative and she organised everything. I am really happy with the surgery. I also had the chance to talk to another great patient representative who helped me talk to the surgeon and took care of me before and after the surgery. I was always able to write her a message and ask a question when I had some. I also had the chance to stay at the hospital the day that I had my surgery. Luckily everting went well and I went back to the hotel.

I chose to do the rhinoplasty surgery at Dr. Kadri Ila, I am very satisfied with the service
Zineb, my coordinator, was also very kind and helpful, available with information and advice at all times.
I strongly recommend Vanity Clinic, very satisfied.
Everything went exceptionally well
Adriana
My rhinoplasty experience was better than I had hoped for. I had a deviated septum and breathing issues that he was able to fix. Everything here was legitimate. The staff including reception, the nurses and the coordinators worked hard to make sure I had a good time there. I would come back if I needed any additional work done.
AutumnS99
I had secondary rhinoplasty done, it turned out great. My nose was broken , I couldn’t breathe properly for over 10 years. I was a bit worried about the surgery itself , like how will it be and if the healing process will be painful. But, everything turned out well. The hospital was nice and clean, the consultant Umut was very friendly and informative which was very helpful. Dr. Alper from the first sight noticed my problematic areas and told me what can be done , he was gentle. I appreciate the work that their team has done , they helped me a lot with fulfilling my dream.
I would like to mention that , once I woke up from anaesthesia I was feeling very dizzy and the nurses were supportive , which made me feel more relaxed (my first time in Turkey , so I did not know what to expect).
On the 1st day, I did not have any swelling or bruises , on 2nd to 3rd I had a tiny bit of bruising and a little bit of swelling near my eyes but it was gone on the 4th day. No pain at all.
In conclusion, I would recommend you their service. 10/10
Adi Ai
What an incredible experience I had at Vanity Estetik!
I came from the United States to have Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty performed and the experience has been nothing short of amazing.
Nadine my coordinator has been super helpful and resourceful throughout the entire process.
Dr. Mert Sizmaz was my surgeon and was super attentive to my wants and needs and had the most incredible bedside manner.
The nurses in the hospital were there to assist whenever I needed as I stayed overnight after surgery.
In addition, the hospital is state of the art, modern, clean, and pristine.
I could not have asked for a better cosmetic surgery experience in all of Turkey!
Thank you so much to the team!
Chase Green
Went to Turkey in June 2022 for a Rhinoplasty with Dr. Güray Yeşiladalı. Best decision I have ever made, he was so knowledgeable and friendly and truly is an expert in his field. He talked me through everything and I had no problems and healed very quickly with no pain or discomfort. Would hughly recommend. Before and after attached. Love the results!!!

As Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital, we work with surgeons with international certificates so that you can trust us.
Turkey is a health tourism region with highly advanced technologies in aesthetic interventions. In this sense, Turkey is safe in terms of fox eye operation and works with experienced professionals in the field.
In the procedure of fox eye lift in Turkey special surgical threads are pulled upwards from the edge of the eyes. These threads are fixed to the bone membrane.
Since this operation is performed under local or general anesthesia no pain is felt.
Before going to the hospital on the day of the operation you should not wear make-up, clean your face and choose clothes with a wide collar and easy to put on and take off.
To prevent the development of complications such as postoperative infection, swelling and edema it is necessary not to wear make-up for a certain period recommended by the doctor. Heavy sports should be avoided. If the physician approves light sports such as walking can be started in a short time. Patients should avoid swimming in the sea or pool immediately after the operation.
Fox eye lift procedure in Turkey is not a temporary technique. Patients who attain their desired appearance after these applications are intended to have almond eyes for many years.
Fox eye lift procedure in Turkey is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia according to the preliminary examination of the doctor.
Since aesthetic stitches are applied to the incision area during the operation by specialists in the field of plastic surgery there is no scarring.
