Eye shape unlikely to change

William Portuese, MD answers: Will upper eyelid surgery change shape of the eyes?

I'm afraid that having upper Eyelid surgery will change the look of my eyes, specifically the shape. For example, I don't want round looking eyes.

The upper eyelid surgery typically does not change the shape of the eyes. The amount of muscle, fat, and skin that is being removed now is much more conservative than it was 10 and 20 years ago. We typically leave more of a full and natural look. It is also important to leave enough skin so that you can close your eyes.
