DIY Hunter Eyes Using PDO Threads (Fox Eye Lift From Home) | An Overview

welcome in today's video we're going over the idea of using PDO threads as subdermal implants in order to lift the corner of the eye as well as the brow in order to give you Hunter eyes this can be done in 5 to 20 minutes depending on how quick you are and in this video I'll be showing you the dangers the pros the cons the results that you can expect how long this might last and even how much this would cost let's begin so PDO threads polydioxanone it's non-toxic polymer it was originally used as sutures leave in sutures after a surgery and that's because it dissolves over 6 months through hydrolysis that also means that the thread lift that we're going to be performing has to be redone every 6 months now there are two main types of these threads there's a barbed one which creates more lift it'll kind of hook into the skin creating more lift and there's unbar or smooth this one is mainly for volume since it produces more collagen now there's a third one called twist this one's for filling any sort of dents inside the skin this one isn't as useful for our purposes now P threads are used as cosmetic lifts and manipulating skin elasticity if you were to buy some this is what they look like we've got a needle with a thread wrapped around either on the outside or on the inside of the needle now a quick disclaimer here this video is for educational purposes only try any of this stuff at your own risk I'm not endorsing it I'm simply putting out the facts of the matter as they are now what are some desired results we'll have a more positive canl both the eye and the brow so if you look at the outer corner of her eye here you'll see that it gets raised after the thread lift simply because the skin was quite literally pulled upwards and the brow also no longer depresses itself at the outer edge it's now raised and there's definitely a positive tilt to the brow as well as the eye now her nose changed a little bit from another procedure but the eye area is what we're focusing on here so positive canel there's also going to be less uee so we're going to have more hooding of the eye to hide that upper eyelid as a result they'll be less sagging we'll also increase the horizontal length of the eyes which will create a vertically narrow look to the eye so if you see here the vertical height of a prey eye for example is a lot larger than the vertical height of a hunter eye lastly making the eyes more deep set this can't really be fixed with a simple skin lift this is more of a bone issue so I apologize a foxye lift can't really give you that deep set look now what are some insertion points for the foxye lift at least for the standard one so if you were to go into an office the most standard lift is to put the needles in these two little points right here so at the outermost edge of the brow slightly below right this point right here actually follows that lower curve of the eye curves all the way up into this point and the second insertion point is slightly further into the brow but also directly underneath the brow and we'll insert the needle here and then we'll go straight up all the way to the hairline and then as we remove the needle we're leaving the thread in and we'll be massaging upward in order to make sure those cogs or those barbs bite into the skin and provide that lift so the steps exactly are to sanitize everything with rubbing alcohol right that will be both the needle as well as your skin then we'll pin so that'll mean inserting the needle a sharp one not a blunt one we'll go brow to hairline right brow to hairline this will all be subdermal roughly 3 to 5 mm underneath the surface of the skin this will take some practice to get right and that's why professionals usually do this but if you were to DIY this you could eventually figure this out now massage up and out for the barbs to bite like I said earlier and then lastly cut the thread and then tie it off if it's multi-threaded there's multiple threads it'll be easier to tie that knot but if it's just a single thread you can still perform a little knot on the end so that it doesn't sink all the way into the skin now that's not too much of an issue having the thread sink all the way into the skin and kind of losing itself in there because we're using cogged or Barbed threads for something like this if you use a smooth one that that's where the issues would

come in now option two alternative insertion points would be further out from the brow so this one is from clavicular vid I think his source is from somewhere else he didn't invent this but he did try it and although I think he's a little bit crazy I got to respect the fact that he's willing to do anything in order to ascend so this is the second insertion point it's outside of the outer edge of the brow and you'll pin downwards from this point down to the cheekbone you can see more in clavicular vid if you wanted to check that out his is a true DIY now the needle will go straight down it'll still be subdermal you need to avoid the nerves and the veins this is super important these are part of the dangers of doing this on yourself in your face and then lastly you need to pull up and out as those cogs bite into your skin to provide that lift as always remember to sanitize and then cut the line at the very end so how long does something like this last well it depends on the thread material the diameter of the thread the diameter is usually correlated to the number of grams associated with the thread so those number of grams let's say 19 versus 23 g will be slightly stronger because that's how much weight it can support and as a result it will most likely be thi ER in diameter now the last part would be the solution kind of the surrounding material if it's water if it's a salt solution if it's tissue and blood underneath our skin these factors influence how fast the thread degrades now as for the types of threads there's four main ones that I found there's PDO poly dioxinone 6 to 9 months is more optimistic I think it's realistic to expect 6 months of lift then we've got PLA and P 2 to 2 and 1/2 years again two years the lower bound here is more realistic and lastly PCL also two to roughly 3 years this one is a lot tougher and it's mainly used for the jaw so if you were to use it near your eye area get a thinner thread so that it doesn't bulge out now during this time there's going to be a lot of stimulation and collagen produced and that gradually tightens the skin which is what these ranges reflect the period during which the skin tightens and the effect lasts now what are some costs here cuz obviously this stuff isn't free you need to have the needles threads the disinfectants and maybe even someone else to help you do this so if you were to do it with a certified professional at least in the US it costs anywhere between 500 to $2500 quite expensive in my opinion especially since it's something so simple just a thread up in the eye area but obviously safety and doing it right those things matter and if you were to DIY it just using the threads and a disinfectant this will run you anywhere between $60 to $120 or roughly $3 to $6 per thread now my main concern is that some people will cheap out and they'll buy Chinese threads instead of Korean threads and the main difference is the quality and the safety standards between the two different countries So Korea is almost always better because they've got higher standards higher quality stuff comes out of that country and since you're going to be doing this every 6 months to two years and it's going to be living underneath your skin during that time you definitely do not want to cheap out so Ace thread is the one that I found it's a Korean brand made in Korea and it's got all the right characteristics that we want it is roughly 60 mm or 6 cm you don't need much more than that in order to manipulate the eye area its weight is roughly 19 to 23 g in terms of strength it's a bidirectional cog so the little barbs the little cogs are in both directions which will help with more lift and the needle is sharp not blunt which will make the insertion or the pinning a lot easier as a last note here the cost will depend on the thread length the weight and the manufacturer so be mindful of that I wanted to show you guys some before and afters just so you can see what this fox eyee lift could potentially do for you so here we can see that the vertical aspect of her eye has shrunk and that outer edge of her brow has been lifted up to give that

positive tilt to both the eye and the brow it makes her face look just a little bit sharper in the second half we've got a lady who has neutral tilt right her eyes look kind of tired kind of bored almost and after the procedure they've got a more positive tilt so they look more alive and alert now she did put in fake lashes so that might influence your perception here a little bit but it's mainly the positive tilt of the eye as well as the Brows specifically in the right brow you can see that there's a little more Arch here and a lot more positive tilt so this is what you can expect from this procedure if done correctly now we definitely have to discuss the dangers because there are quite a few now the minor ones are swelling bruising and bleeding as well as a little bit of soreness these are pretty much guaranteed to happen if everything goes right a little bit of soreness a little bit of bleeding and some swelling over a few days now the medium ones are quite a lot worse there's asymmetry right if you pull the thread wrong and one side's lifted a lot more than the other there may be skin dimpling which will resemble scars something like this right here skin dimpling and that can cause persistent pain especially if the cogs are biting in the wrong way now the pain may also be caused by nerve damage so and that's one of the major issues with something like this if you're uneducated about needle placement and how far down to go then you may damage your nerves you may poke your eyes obviously we're not going anywhere near the eyes in the standard procedure but if you do it wrong you could definitely damage your eyes and there's also a risk of infection let's say you bought it from the wrong manufacturer or you didn't use a disinfectant or you reused the same needles for some reason that could definitely going to lead to an infection so these issues they're mainly the worst case scenarios if you do something really wrong they shouldn't happen in most cases but I just wanted to list them out here lastly there's nodules so this is where the thread will kind of lump together and this risk is highest with a smooth thread something without those barbs or cogs in order to bite into the skin and hold everything place now what is my opinion on this procedure well personally I have not done this I just wanted to provide you guys with the facts and the opportunity of something like this I personally think the DIY works I think it's very effective and it's also cost effective compared to getting it professionally done now with that said it is very dangerous if you're uneducated about things such as where your nerves are what the layers of the skin are where your facial muscles and your ligaments lie so you may want to look into this kind of stuff right this is a diagram of where the nerves are at least you want to look into this kind of stuff before you attempt any of this now an alternative is to get BOTOX done to depress the inner part of your brown and that will not only reduce that vertical length of the eye simply because the muscle up here relaxes I think it dies and relaxes which will create a more positive tilt of the brow at least and if you get something done with the outer corner of the eye there's potential to create a little bit of lift there so Botox is an alternative now I do think this stuff can be a rabbit hole right I think you've seen pictures like this where someone has gone too far gotten one too many plastic surgeries fillers and this stuff can happen because Perfection is ever elusive right you fix one thing and then you notice another and you keep Lea frogging until you've gone too far so please be mindful of stuff like this now I wanted to share some resources this is part of my research I found three different options for insertion points we've got the standard one this is a 10-second clip I think most of you should watch this in order to see how it's done and what it looks like when it's done by professional at least we've got cicular DIY attempt you won't learn much here but you will see kind of what the whole thing looks like if you were to attempt it at home and then the option three is a non-standard lift so I was talking about brow to hairline in this video they actually go hairline to brow and then lift upwards which actually seems more logical to me but it might be harder to DIY at home and then we've got what threads look like up close so this is a tiny short just to show you hey this is the needle this is the thread this is what it looks like we've got an article to show you Pros the cons that kind of

stuff it'll be mostly what I talked about in this video already and then lastly a genius link to Amazon um the Amazon of your country that's how the genius links work and the one I recommend is a 23 bidirectional Cog thread at 60 mm because you won't need anything longer than that but anything shorter than that you might not get the desired results uh with that said thank you so much for hanging out like and sub for more peace
