Can I Change my Eye Shape?

Eye shape depends on multiple factors including eyelid and orbit anatomy. Almond eyes are beautifully inherited but they can also be achieved through special surgery. Consultation is necessary.

The shape of the eyes can be adjusted with the aid of tendon and ligament adjustment surgery such as a canthoplastyYou should see a plastic/oculoplastic surgeon to have your eyes formally assessed to ascertain if this is somethign that you would be able to achieve.I hope this is of help

This is a good question. Depending on your exact anatomy we can perform a canthoplasty or canthoplexy with/without muscle suspension to give the eye a more almond shape. Every patient is different so some are good candidates and some are not. Blepharoplasty in conjunction with fat transfer really allows us to frame the eye which can give a nice result. You really need a good facial analysis with a physical exam to determine your options but the short answer is yes, we can change the shape of the eye (actually the eye lids but does give the eye a different look).Hope this helps.I have included a video of periorbital treatments.DrC

Several techniques are available to change the shape of one's eyelids. It is important to have an in office consultation with an eyelid surgeon specialist (oculoplastic surgeon) to determine what the goals are, what are possible treatment options and to tailor surgery for the patient's specific problems. Not everyone has reasonable goals; therefore, a good surgeon will dissuade patients from making poor choices.

There are a variety of procedures which suspend the lower eyelid at the outer corner. They fall into the general category of "canthal suspension procedures." These can be done with or without incisions in the outer corners of the eyelids. While they are technically straightforward when performed by an experienced surgeon, canthal issues are some of the most difficult and challenging to address when things go wrong. Please make sure to see a specialist for this kind of procedure. Good luck to you, Dr. Massry
