Nelly, known as @nelnoire on TikTok, recently captured the internet’s attention by documenting her fox eye surgery—a trending cosmetic procedure meant to lift and elongate the eyes. Her candid updates, from pre-op nerves to recovery struggles, racked up over 10 million views.

The idea first came to her during a photoshoot, where makeup artists used tape to lift her eyes for a sharp, sculpted look. She loved the effect so much, she decided to make it permanent.

The surgery, done at a clinic specializing in aesthetic enhancements, involved removing skin around her eyelids to create that signature almond shape. But the transformation wasn’t easy—Nelly rated her post-surgery pain as a 7 or 8 out of 10, with heavy bruising and swelling during the first few days.

Still, she doesn’t regret it.

“I’m obsessed with the results,” she shared, revealing her new look that’s sparked a wave of reactions online. Some praised her confidence and honesty, while others raised concerns about promoting cosmetic surgery at such a young age.

Whether loved or criticized, Nelly’s journey highlights how beauty standards are constantly evolving—and how personal expression plays a major role in shaping them.
