Fox eye is an aesthetic goal, not a procedure, and several different operations are sold to achieve it. A lateral brow lift raises the outer brow. A canthoplasty or canthopexy alters the outer corner of the eye. Thread lifts, which this record does not price, offer a temporary version. The published surgical references are the American Society of Plastic Surgeons averages for a brow lift, $5,460, and for eyelid surgery, $3,359 upper and $3,876 lower, all surgeon fees excluding anesthesia and facility.
Ask providers for a written price
The operations behind the name
A temporal or lateral brow lift is the commonest surgical route and is priced as a brow lift. Canthal surgery, which repositions or tightens the outer corner, is functionally related to eyelid surgery and is quoted by the practice rather than by any national table. Which one a surgeon proposes depends on your anatomy and on how much change you want, and the two are sometimes combined.
Why the thread version is not on this record
Thread lifts are a non-surgical treatment sold largely by med spas, with their own price structure and their own duration. This hub prices surgical self-pay procedures from published sources, and the injectable and thread trades are a different market recorded elsewhere. That is a scope decision rather than a judgement about the treatment.
What to ask before comparing quotes
Which operation is proposed, how long it takes, under what anesthetic and in which facility. Those four answers map onto the lines ASPS names outside the surgeon fee: anesthesia, hospital or surgical facility costs, medical tests, garments and prescriptions. A quote for a look rather than for an operation cannot be compared with anything.
Questions people ask about fox eye surgery
What operation is fox eye surgery?
Usually a lateral or temporal brow lift, sometimes canthal surgery, sometimes both. It is an aesthetic goal rather than a single named procedure.
What does it cost?
The published reference is the ASPS brow lift average of $5,460 as a surgeon fee excluding anesthesia and facility. Canthal work is quoted by the practice.
What about thread lifts?
A non-surgical treatment with its own market and price structure, which this surgical price record does not cover.
How do I compare two quotes?
Ask each practice which operation it proposes, how long it takes and under what anesthetic, then compare those rather than the label.
