Foxy eyes is a procedure for women to achieve that slanted effect on their eyes permanently, despite it being controversial.
In principle, the result of foxy eyes is very similar to the result given by eyeliner, made to give the impression of more oriental eyes, and provide a cat-eye effect in the makeup. However, unlike eyeliner, which is simple makeup, the new aesthetic procedure is the result of a surgical intervention, with a permanent effect on the girls’ faces.
Imagine no longer having to struggle every day to apply eyeliner? This is the intention of the women who join foxy eyes. In other words, it makes it easier to do your makeup.
Many discussions have already been raised regarding the procedure, as the intervention – like most cosmetic surgeries – adds traits to people that were previously not there.
Finally, the most appropriate term for the procedure is “lifting effect”, which only became known thanks to two celebrities: Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner. Consequently, discussions about cultural appropriation were also raised.
What is Foxy eyes?
For those of you who still don’t quite understand what foxy eyes are, don’t despair. It’s simple, as it’s basically a trend where women want to lengthen their eyes through aesthetic procedures. The fact is that, normally, this sensual effect on the look used to be achieved only through common makeup.
The desire for striking eyes goes beyond beauty salons. Aesthetic clinics offer a way to make fox eyes permanent on women’s faces. In other words, you no longer need to use shadows and eyeliners on your eyes to achieve the fox effect. The question is whether or not you have the courage to carry out the procedure.
Foxy eyes and racial themes
The controversy arose, above all, with the questioning coming from Eastern peoples, more specifically from Asians. The true owners of the foxy eyes features raised the discussion about cultural appropriation through the procedure. Mainly because it was for the same traits that they were the target of ridicule and jokes.
During childhood, most Asian girls are discriminated against by other people with the old gesture of stretching their eyes with their hands on the sides of their face. Today, seeing the popularization of plastic surgery, victims of ridicule question the aesthetic standardization involved in the process and how it affects their lives and the lives of many people.
How is the foxy eyes style done?
In principle, there is more than one way to get foxy eyes, which may or may not be permanent. Despite its recent popularization, plastic surgery was developed in 1964, by surgeon Salvador Castañares. However, over time, other less invasive ways were created to apply the effect to the eyes.
Surgical intervention
The first is a surgical intervention in the eye area, just above the eyelids, at the tip of the eyebrows. Support threads are applied to this location, with the function of raising the eyebrow tail, relieving the overlapping of the skin on the eyelashes. The result is incredible and certainly attracts the attention of women, as the look becomes much more sensual.
ultraformer method
Among them, the application of points using ultrasound is less aggressive and elevates the external muscles of the eyes, relaxing the inner area to provide a softer effect. Foxy eyes, done this way, can come apart over time, so a lot of attention and care is needed after using the technique.
Filling with Botox
Finally, the last method is done through the application of botox, in the same region described above. Although it may seem simple, filling requires extra care to avoid damaging the vascular system. In the end, the lifting effect is definitive and does not change over time.
