The Fox Eyes Thread Lift TM is one of Dr Mahsa’s signature treatments whereby she uses a combination of thread-lift techniques to lift and elongate the outer eyelid and brow to create  a beautiful openness to the eye area for a bright, well-rested and youthful appearance.

Targeting both the SPS area ( the eyeshadow space between the upper eyelid and the  eyebrow), as well as the eyebrow itself using dissolvable suture threads.

This minimally invasive treatment uses ultra-fine, lightweight suture threads placed under the  skin via a small cannula to gently pull the eyelid, outer eye and brow outwards and upwards  to alleviate the area of sagging skin that may present as a result of ageing, or be  predisposed genetically, such as hooded eyelids or excess skin that droops at the corner of  the eyes.

The Fox Eyes Thread Lift TM technique can also be used to subtly remodel the positioning of  the eyebrows’ outer tail to carefully create the illusion of a wider eye and higher cheekbones.  The threads will gradually dissolve in time, whilst the tissue around them works to stimulate  and increase collagen production to retain the lift and build a long-term rejuvenation and  tautness, which over time slows the formation of drooping skin, fine lines and wrinkles.

Your SAS Aesthetics doctor will create a bespoke treatment plan to determine your suitability  in achieving your preferred look.

All Fox Eyes Thread Lift TM treatments can be carried out in less than an hour using local  anaesthetic to minimise discomfort with minimal downtime. The effects of this technique  typically last between 6-12 months with PDO threads or 2-3 years with the use of semi permanent threads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fox Eyes Lift?

This treatment is an increasingly popular treatment for patients. This technique uses dissolvable sutures to lift and elongate the outer eyebrows and upper eyelid to create an openness to the eyes whilst simultaneously lifting the brow tail to create the desired effect.

What is a SPS Lift?

SPS stands for superior palpebral sulcus. This is the area in your upper eye that creates a  fold better known as the “eyeshadow area”. With time, due to aging this skin begins to droop down as the fat pads  above and around the eyebrows are lost. An SPS lift uses dissolvable suture threads to lift and tighten the skin below the eyebrows  and above the eyes to create an openness and restore the shadow area.

What is a PDO Eyebrow Lift?

The Eyebrow lift focuses on simply re-aligning the position of the eyebrow itself with little to  no impact in skin tightening. This is a great treatment for patients considering a change in  the shape of their eyebrow to a more straight and elongated shape.

What are the different techniques used to achieve this at SAS Aesthetics?

Dr. Mahsa offers two different techniques to achieve this look. All these techniques are  unique to our clinic and have been developed and perfected by Dr. Mahsa. All these  treatments can be done using local anaesthetic in under one hour with minimal downtime:

  • PDO Threadlift – this is the most commonly used technique where lifting dissolvable  sutures are inserted under the skin to create a lift lasting 6-12 months. This technique  is popular as it’s the most cost effective and offers a great option for those wanting to  build up the effect of the lift over time.
  • PLLA or PCLA threadlift – this is otherwise known as the semi-permanent Fox Eyes. This uses a similar technique to PDO threads  however has a much higher longevity as the suture material are prone to much slower breakdown  by the body with results reported to last between 2-3 years.
Is the treatment painful?

All of the techniques used by Dr. Mahsa are relatively painless as she will give you an  effective local anaesthetic (LA) injection called “xylocaine”. The LA injections will feel like a  pin prick. You may experience some headaches after the treatment which will respond well  to over the counter painkillers and are usually short lived in nature.

Will I have a scar?

The beauty of this treatment is that it’s free of incisions. The treatment is done through  needle entry points through which a pre-mounted cannula is introduced to create the desired result. The trauma incurred to the treated area is very small with only a needle mark visible immediately after the procedure. This, therefore reduces the risk of scarring to a minimum.

What is the downtime? Will the skin folds be permanent?

Threadlifts will heal within 7-10 days as the swelling and bruising settles down. You make experience tightness in the treated area for a week on average. There may  be some skin folds in the hairline which usually begins to relax 2-3 days after the procedure. Disclaimer: individual healing times may vary.

What are the complications with thread lift?

The treatment is relatively safe, with minor complications such as swelling and bruising, however there is a slightly increased risk of infection with PDO threads compared to other  treatments, there is a small risk of nerve damage and a negligible risk of scarring. During  your appointment your doctor will explain the measures you must take to avoid and minimise  the risks of these complications during your appointment.

Will my skin be more “saggy” once the threads dissolve?

This is not the case, the skin surrounding the PDO thread will be stimulated to create more  collagen which will make the skin more firm and less prone to “sagging” or wrinkles in the long term.

What do I have to avoid before and after the treatment?

As with all aesthetics treatments, consumption of alcohol should be avoided for 12 hours  before and after treatment, the same is said for smoking but for 6 hours. Specific to thread  lifts, you should avoid strenuous exercise for 2 weeks after the treatment. Some clients may  be advised to go on a liquid diet for 1-2 days after the treatment. Depending on your medical  conditions some patients who are diabetic or more prone to infection should take antibiotics for a short period before and after the treatment.

Other post treatment precautions will depend on which area is treated and will be discussed  with you in depth during your clinic appointment.

Who can’t have the treatment?

This treatment is not recommended for pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding. Those with obesity are discouraged from having this treatment.

How long will the effects last?

PDO threads last 6 -12 months depending on your lifestyle and level of activity – For longer  lasting results a repeat procedure is advisable.

Other available suture materials, PLLA or PCLA threads with longer life spans will last between 2-3 years.
