What is a thread lift? Detailed procedure and price list at HBIO Clinic

The trend of having trendy, sharp, and alluring slanted eyes is gradually becoming popular. To achieve this eye shape without surgery or complex incisions, the Foxy Eyes thread lift method has emerged as a groundbreaking non-surgical aesthetic solution. Let’s explore this method with HBIO Clinic below.

What is Foxy Eyes Thread Lifting Technology?

Foxy Eyes thread lifting is a non-surgical aesthetic technique that uses specialized biodegradable threads inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of the outer corner of the eye and eyebrow.
After fixing, the doctor will pull the threads taut to lift the entire outer corner of the eye diagonally towards the temple, creating the effect of long, slightly slanted eyes that are captivating, like a fox’s eyes.

The threads commonly used today are PDO (Polydioxanone), PCL (Polycaprolactone), or PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid). These are all safe, biodegradable materials that stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin around the threads.
Therefore, even after the threads dissolve, the underlying collagen structure remains to provide support, helping the skin around the eyes stay firm and smooth for a long time.

Who is suitable for a thread lift?

This method is designed for those who want to gently and naturally change their eye shape without undergoing eyelid surgery or eyebrow lifting. The thread lift procedure is suitable for:
  • People with slightly drooping eyelids due to congenital factors or aging.
  • People with fine wrinkles and slight sagging around the eyes and eyebrows.

Post-operative Skin Care Guide

Post-operative care accounts for 30% of the durability and shape of your eyelids. You should strictly adhere to the following principles:
  • For the first 24 hours, avoid direct contact of water with the needle punctures on your skin. Gently wipe your face with cotton pads soaked in saline solution.
  • Apply cold compresses for the first two days to minimize mild swelling and bruising in the temples.
  • When sleeping, lie on your back with your head elevated on a pillow. Absolutely do not lie on your side or stomach, putting pressure on the newly tightened facial muscles.
  • Do not touch, massage, or rub your eyes vigorously for the first 2-3 weeks until the threads are firmly attached to the skin tissue.
  • Avoid foods that can easily cause scarring or irritation, such as water spinach, beef, seafood, sticky rice, and stimulants, for one month.
