Surgical Options for Bigger Eyes

Hi! I am 20 years old and caucasian. I have really small eyes and would like to get bigger eyes. My eyes are almond shaped, they look like normal eyes but they're small.

An actual consultation with some one might be appropriate.

Unfortunately you did not share any photos so it is not possible to address the question of which surgery might be appropriate for you. I can tell you that I have performed endoscopic forehead surgery on women as young as 19 but this is unusual and there was a very specific reason that all concern felt was appropriate. Generally, I find that at age 20, women have trouble understanding how beautiful they actually are. I would encourage you to consider minimally invasive non... more
